The Brazilian state oil company said construction work on the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit in China had been delayed due to Covid-19. The FPSO will be able to process 180,000 b/d from the giant Santos Basin pre-salt field. Mero -- also known as Libra -- is operated by Petrobras, with partners including Royal Dutch Shell, Total, CNOOC and others.
