Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. announces that production has started on the Alexandre de Gusmão floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform in the Mero field off the coast of Brazil.

As part of the Mero-4 project, this FPSO, located 180 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro at a depth of approximately 2,000 meters, will be connected to 12 wells and will be able to produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil and compress 12 million cubic meters of gas per day (Shell's share: 19.3%).

Peter Costello, Shell's upstream president, emphasizes that this project illustrates their collaboration with partners to develop world-class reservoirs with sustainable assets that are competitive in terms of cost and carbon footprint.

The Mero field is operated by Petrobras (38.6%) in partnership with Shell Brasil (19.3%), TotalEnergies (19.3%), CNPC (9.65%), CNOOC (9.65%) and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (3.5%), representing the Brazilian government.
