A Petrobras Projects Promotion before operation (APO) us Win does the Amazon In 40 days, I told sources CNN. This is the “next step” in search of the company to obtain a license Brazilian Environment Institute (Ebama) To explore oil in the region, located on the Amapá coast, in Equatorial margin.
In practice, the company needs to put its tools in the region and make an appointment for APO with IBAMA. The primary part of this process is the transfer of the NS-42 drilling probe for operation in the area to the site.
It turns out that at this moment, Petrobras is interested in cleaning the cabinet of the tube ship for drilling. Coral colonies are required to remove from the ship, which is the necessary process when mobilizing equipment for areas that are not affected by species, in the north of the country.
According to the sources close to the topic, the removal of the gas species must last 20 days. This period adds to the time of traveling between the Bay of Guanabara (in Rio De Janeiro) to the excavation site, which will take between 16 and 20 days. Thus, APO can happen in early July, at a discretion of Petrobras.
Indeed, the technicians from IBAMA, who will coordinate APO, project that the simulation will be held between July and August, according to the investigation of CNN.
APO is implemented whenever the area is of environmental sensitivity. The activity is coordinated by IBAMA, which represents an appointment with the company (in this case to Petrobras) of the activity. The idea of simulation is to prove that the plan submitted on paper is possible.
Ebama will clarify an accident scenario based on the aspects of the plan that will be tested. On the specified date, it will then lead to the operation of the company through emergency channels and inform the details of the situation – such as the leakage location, the amount of oil and the climate and the current conditions in which the simulation will occur.
During the test, Ebama introduces details in the state of emergency, which can range from a platform to rescue a bored animal.
