RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 3 (Reuters) - A consortia led by Singapore-based Keppel Shipyard Limited offered Brazil’s Petrobras the lowest price to build a floating platform for Buzios, Latin America’s second-largest oil field, three people close to the competition said.
Keppel offered to build P-78, a 180,000-barrels-per-day production unit that Petrobras plans for its deepwater Buzios field, for 12.52 billion reais ($2.33 billion), the sources said, asking not to be named as the information is confidential.
A winner has not been selected and the result is unclear, the sources said.
Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as Brazil’s state-controlled producer is known, declined to comment. Keppel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Three consortia including Asian shipyards are preparing to compete to build Brazilian state-controlled oil firm Petrobras' first two in-house platforms in more than seven years, according to four people familiar with the tender. Samsung Heavy Industries Co, Daewoo Heavy Industries & Machinery Ltd, and Hyundai Heavy Industries Holding Co Ltd have formed separate consortia that are expected to bid after seven months of preparations, the sources said, declining to be named as the information is private. Samsung and Petrobras declined to comment.
