據4月28日Rigzone報道，巴西國家石油、天然氣和生物燃料局(ANP)于4月27日發布了第817/2020號決議，該決議涉及油氣勘探和生產設施的退役、地區回歸ANP的程序以及資產的出售和購回。該機構稱之為石油行業的一個里程碑，更新的程序將為在該國拉開展新業務和增加投資提供機會。

單就退役而言，新標準預計在未來五年內將帶來至少45億美元的投資。據該機構表示，這些資金將用于承包清理和廢棄油井、移除設備和回收區域承包服務。

該決議可能適用于計劃在未來幾年退役的項目設施，由于當前油氣產量下降，這些設施最終需要在今年年初就停用。根據該決議，包括正在流轉程序中的陸上油田——這些油田的退役計劃已經獲批，在預定的生產結束日期前24個月就可以開始啟動相關程序，這樣就可以在不中斷生產的情況下進行運營商的過渡。

ANP在一份聲明中表示，簡化油田從一家公司轉移到另一家公司的規則，延長了油田的使用壽命，擴大了油田的采收率，創造了就業機會，提升了收入。

該決議是ANP、Ibama和巴西海軍共同努力的結果，它們統一了各自的程序，使得各個公司不再需要向每個機構提交不同的文件，而是提供一個單一的設施退役計劃即可。

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.
