JBIC approves US$252mn loan for Petrobras vessel
The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) has approved a US$252mn loan to finance the construction of a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel for Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras.
The unit will be built by TarmV29, a joint venture between engineering firms Mitsui, Modec and Marubeni, JBIC said in a statement.
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation will coordinate and co-finance the transaction along with a consortium of 11 other lenders. The total co-financing amount is about US$1.26bn.
The FPSO will have daily production capacity of 150,000b of crude oil and 176Mf3 (4.98Mm3) of natural gas. It will also store about 1,600b of oil.
JBIC did not say when the FPSO would be delivered.
TarmV29 will provide charter services to Petrobras for 20 years at the Campos basin's Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça fields, off Brazil's southeast coast.
Both fields are located in the pre-salt layer, up to 7km below the Atlantic's surface.
The bank said the FPSO would be the ninth vessel of its type to be chartered to Petrobras by Modec.
