Production Testing in Deep Water Discoveries in Sergipe Begins in November with One-Year Delay Due to Issues with FPSO Cidade de São Vicente.

On one hand, Petrobras Races Against Time to Enable Sergipe Basin to Produce Gas, while on the other hand, it informed ANP that it intends to start the long-term test (TLT) on its deep water oil discoveries in Sergipe in November.
Issues that led FPSO Cidade de São Vicente to be under maintenance delayed the project timeline by one year.

The long-term test (TLT) is a process, typically lasting 6 months, carried out to gather more information about the wells, which are essential for assessing their viability. The TLT will be conducted by Petrobras to complete the exploration of several oil and natural gas discoveries in the Sergipe Basin.

The new project timeline was approved by the ANP board this Thursday (10/17) and was developed after the one-year delay caused by the cleaning of the hull of FPSO Cidade de São Vicente, as requested by IBAMA.

The FPSO belongs to BW Offshore and the contract with Petrobras runs until the second quarter of 2020 and has a capacity to produce up to 30 thousand barrels/day of oil, connected to one well.

With this revision of the timeline, the fields of Cumbe, Farfan, and Barra are set to finalize the campaign in December 2020.

Six years ago, Petrobras made discoveries of giant reserves of oil and natural gas offshore Sergipe, highlighting natural gas. Although it is selling part of the blocks and seeking a partner, the state company estimates the demand for two FPSOs in the definitive production systems starting in 2020.
