The unit, FPSO Almirante Barroso MV32, will be deployed in the Búzios field, located in the vast pre-salt region of the Santos Basin, and is 100% operated by Petrobras.

Starting in 2022, the FPSO will be anchored in waters with a depth of 1,900 meters. The unit will have the capacity to produce up to 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day and 212 million cubic feet of gas per day, as well as store 1.4 million barrels of crude oil.

MODEC sees Brazil as its most important market for the FPSO business, and this latest project will be its twelfth chartering of FPSO vessels for Petrobras.
