Equinor has announced the Peregrino C platform in Brazil has come on stream featuring a new pipeline importing gas to the platform for power generation.
By switching from diesel to gas for power on Peregrino C, phase 2 will avoid 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the field per year.
Phase 2 adds 250-300m barrels of oil, while at the same time halving expected CO2 emissions per barrel over the field remaining lifetime. Equinor is the operator (60%), with Sinochem (40%) as partner.
