Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (Shell Brasil), a subsidiary of Shell plc, announced the start of production of the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO) Marechal Duque de Caxias in the Mero field, in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil. Also known as Mero-3, the FPSO has an operational capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day. (Shell share 19.3%).

“Mero-3 demonstrates our commitment to increasingly efficient and competitive projects,” said Zoë Yujnovich, Shell’s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director. “Brazil is a material contributor to Shell’s deep-water oil and gas production, and through our ongoing partnership with Petrobras in the Mero field, we can help continue to deliver safe and secure energy from one of the country’s most productive fields.”

The FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias is located 200 kilometers from the coast of Rio de Janeiro at a water depth of 2,200 meters. Its predecessor, the FPSO Sepetiba (Mero-2), announced its first production in December 2023. The FPSO Guanabara (Mero-1) started production in May 2022
