The oil and gas field is located in the offshore concession BM-S-40 in the Santos Basin, 50-60 km from the Neon and Goiá discoveries and 50 km from Karoon’s Clorita exploration area.

Baúna includes 6 oil production wells, 3 water injection wells, and 1 gas injection well exploiting 2 oil reservoirs (Baúna and Piracaba). All the wells are subsea completions tied back to the FPSO Cidade de Itajaí (FPSO).
