巴西通过简化油田流转程序创收

中国石化新闻网讯 据4月28日Rigzone报道，巴西国家石油、天然气和生物燃料局(ANP)于4月27日发布了第817/2020号决议，该决议涉及油气勘探和生产设施的退役、地区回归ANP的程序以及资产的出售和购回。该机构称之为石油行业的一个里程碑，更新的程序将为在该国拉开展新业务和增加投资提供机会。

单就退役而言，新标准预计在未来五年内将带来至少45亿美元的投资。据该机构表示，这些资金将用于承包清理和废弃油井、移除设备和回收区域承包服务。

该决议可能适用于计划在未来几年退役的项目设施，由于当前油气产量下降，这些设施最终需要在今年年初就停用。根据该决议，包括正在流转程序中的陆上油田——这些油田的退役计划已经获批，在预定的生产结束日期前24个月就可以开始启动相关程序，这样就可以在不中断生产的情况下进行运营商的过渡。

ANP在一份声明中表示，简化油田从一家公司转移到另一家公司的规则，延长了油田的使用寿命，扩大了油田的采收率，创造了就业机会，提升了收入。

该决议是ANP、Ibama和巴西海军共同努力的结果，它们统一了各自的程序，使得各个公司不再需要向每个机构提交不同的文件，而是提供一个单一的设施退役计划即可。

Brazil Could See $4.5B in Decomm Investments

The Brazilian National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) released Resolution 817/2020 on April 27, which deals with decommissioning oil and gas exploration and production facilities, the procedure for returning areas to the ANP and the sale and reversal of assets. The agency called it a milestone for its oil industry, as the updated procedures will provide opportunities for new business and increased investments in the country.

On the decommissioning alone, the forecast is that the new standard will result in at least $4.5 billion in investments in the next five years. The funds will be invested in contracting services for clearing and abandoning wells, removing equipment and recovering areas, according to the agency.

The resolution may be applied to installations with decommissioning scheduled for the coming years and which, eventually, need to be deactivated early this year due to the production declines tied to the coronavirus pandemic.

Under the resolution the ANP may include onshore fields that are in the process of being returned that have approved decommissioning plans, starting 24 months before the scheduled date for the end of production, so that there is a transition of operators without production interruption.

Simplifying the rules for transferring fields from one company to another extends fields' useful life and expands their recovery factor, generating jobs, income and increased royalties, the ANP said in a statement.

The resolution is the result of a joint effort between the ANP, Ibama and the Brazilian Navy, which unified their procedures; instead of delivering different documents to each agency, companies will now deliver a single facilities decommissioning plan.
