The FPSO OSX-2 was built by SBM in 2013 and is stopped in Asia after corruption problems involving former billionaire Eike Batista.

In addition to work on the turret, the platform will also have to undergo adaptations to operate in deeper water depths, greater than 15 meters. The definitive Atlanta FPSO contract will have a charter period of XNUMX years, but may be extended depending on production results.

Enauta's bid considers an exclusive 12-month contract with a purchase option by the winner. 

The FPSO, which has the capacity to produce 100 barrels of oil per day, would produce in the Tubarão Tigre, Tubarão Gato and Tubarão Areia fields, in the Campos Basin, operated by OGX — the oil company owned by former billionaire Eike Batista. It never went into operation and is currently owned by the company's creditors.

The unit will connect 6 to 8 producing wells, 3 of which are already operating in the Early Production System (SPA). According to information, the platform will have to be adapted to 50 barrels/day, as it will operate with a heavier oil of 14º API.

“We started this tender confident in the resilience of our project. The SPA brought important information to reduce uncertainties in the implementation of the definitive system, which will only be developed with technologies that have already been mastered”, says Enauta's production director, Carlos Mastrangelo.

Enauta reported that on February 22nd it returned with production at the Atlanta Field, which had been suspended since January 27th for equipment repair. The resumption occurred after the company definitively changed the tubes of one of the heaters in well 7-ATL-4HB-RJS.
