Petrobras’ FPSO P-71 Had Its Hull Built in China and the Installation of Modules and Integration Done at the Jurong Shipyard.
Petrobras informed, in a relevant fact this morning (10/17), that the P-71 floating production storage and offloading vessel left the Jurong Aracruz shipyard in Espírito Santo on Saturday (15) towards the Itapu field, in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin.
It is worth noting that the construction of P-71 began in China and was completed on December 3 in the Asian country. The installation of its modules and the integration were done at EJA, where it generated more than 6,000 job vacancies.
P-71 Will Enter Operation in December 2022 and Is Expected to Reach Its Peak Production by the End of 2023.
Originally designed for the Tupi field, the giant FPSO P-71 measures 316m in length and 54m in width. Its delivery was successfully completed this October 2022.
