RIO DE JANEIRO – Petrobras has started decommissioning the production platform P-12 in the Campos basin, following approval by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and the Navy.

The platforms P-07 and P-15 in the Campos basin and the FPSO Piranema in the Sergipe-Alagoas basin are also scheduled to be decommissioned this year.

According to the company’s Strategic Plan for 2020-2024, 18 production platforms will be decommissioned by 2024.
