Future-Proofing Brazil’s FPSO Industry with Pre-Salt Fields, Low

Carbon Emissions and Remote Operations


23 – 26 May 2023

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Brazil may be reaching a production of 7.7 billion barrels of crude oil in the pre-salt area in the period of 2023 – 2032 and
daily production is expected to increase fourfold in the coming years. As a result, both Oil and Gas Owners and FPSO
Contractors are accelerating their expansion into pre-salt oil fields activities. This comes in addition to the 21 projects
expected to take place in Brazil’s fields by 2026.

At the same time, the industry continues its search for appropriate technology and tools to reduce carbon emission with
the continued emphasis on greener operations to accomplish net-zero carbon emissions in the next 5 years.

FPSO Brazil Congress 2023 will bring industry stakeholders together over hard-hitting discussions on Future-Proofing
Brazil’s FPSO Industry with Pre-Salt Fields, Low Carbon Emissions and Remote Operations. This includes dedicated
sessions on FPSO Project Management and Commercial Fundamentals, Offshore Wind and more.

Key Themes:
• Dominating the Oil and Gas Market with Ultra-Deep-Water Activities in Brazil
• Understanding the FPSO Project Financing Structure in Brazil
• Identifying the Right Set of Tools to Capitalize the Oil Extraction from the Pre-Salt Fields
• Harnessing Green Technologies to Eliminate Carbon Emissions on FPSO Vessels
• Advancing Remote Operations and Low-Manned Vessels
• Steering the Future of FPSOs with Digitalization
• Understanding FPSO Project Management and Commercial Fundamentals
• Unlocking Brazil’s Offshore Wind Potential
