Petrobras announces that, after approval by the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and the Navy, it started decommissioning the P-12 platform in the Campos Basin. Decommissioning of P-07 and P-15 in the Campos Basin and of FPSO Piranema in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin are also planned for 2020.

According to the company's strategic plan for 2020-2024, 18 production platforms will be decommissioned by 2024.

The decommissioning of the platforms will be carried out in accordance with the best global practices. In partnership with other companies and with the scientific community, methodologies that allow the identification of the alternative that best balances safety, environment, technical, social and economic aspects were developed.

The P-07, P-12 and P-15 platforms will be offered at a public auction scheduled to take place in July.
