EQNR--
The Peregrino FPSO is currently operated by Norway's Equinor and is set to become the operator after Prio SA agreed to buy Equinor's stake in the oil field earlier this year. The halt in output is expected to take between three and six weeks, according to a securities filing by Prio SA. The impact of this decision on Prio SA's operations and production levels remains unclear, as the company has not detailed the potential consequences.
Prio SA's primary assets include the Tubarao Martelo Field, which produces approximately 10,000 barrels of oil per day through six interconnected wells to FPSO Bravo, and the Wahoo exploratory block in the Campos Basin, with the potential to produce more than 125 million barrels in the pre-salt. The halt in output at the Peregrino FPSO may affect these production levels and the company's overall operational efficiency.
Investors and financial professionals should closely monitor the situation as it develops, as any disruptions in production could have significant implications for Prio SA's financial performance and stock price.
