Sepia and Atapu progressing

Petrobras and its partners have taken final investment decision (FID) for one additional FPSO each on the Sepia and Atapu fields offshore Brazil. Expansion of both projects have been expected and processes to hire relevant oil services (FPSO, drilling and subsea) have been ongoing. First oil is planned for 2029. In relation to the FID, FPSOs have been ordered at Seatrium. For offshore drilling, the initial 3-rig tender for these two developments was launched one year ago, but has been delayed on several occasions. Our most recent updates suggest the process for drilling rigs has restarted with a delayed startup window (extending into 2026), allowing more incumbent Petrobras rigs to bid. Based on rigs coming off contract with Petrobras, Seadrill (3) and Transocean (1) are international contractors with available units while local contractors Foresea, Constellation, Proserv and Etesco also have rollovers meeting the new startup window.
