The platform ship, FPSO Almirante Barroso, operating in the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt, reached a historic milestone in oil production, reaching 150 thousand barrels of oil per day (bpd) in less than five months starting from the first oil.
The FPSO Almirante Barroso, a platform ship operating in the Búzios field, located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, achieved an impressive milestone, reaching a daily production of 150 thousand barrels of oil in just 146 days. A remarkable achievement for the exploration industry oil. This achievement, obtained last Tuesday (24/10), is a testimony to Petrobras' commitment to efficiency and the use of advanced technologies.
FPSO platform ship Almirante Barroso reaches production of 150 thousand barrels of oil per day in the Búzios field, in the Santos Basin
O platform ship Almirante Barroso It exceeded all expectations, reaching its maximum production capacity in record time, taking less than five months from the start of production.
The previous record, held by FPSO P-76, also in the Búzios field, was broken, as it took less than eight months to reach maximum capacity.
- In 1858, this man 'discovered oil', but he was not recognized and died in complete poverty.
- Petrobras gets a New Year's resolution in court and the fact alerts companies such as Vale, Americanas and others
- With the major discovery of 13 oil reservoirs, the country is preparing to enter the select group of African producing countries, with the potential to revolutionize its economy
- Petrobras is being sued and could lose billions after a decision that could lead to mass layoffs
The Almirante Barroso platform is of the FPSO type, which stands for Floating Production, Storage and Transfer Unit.
It began commercial operations on May 31 this year and is equipped with cutting-edge technology.
In the project's subsea system, the installation of rigid pipelines incorporated innovative solutions that resulted in a 15% reduction in the average well interconnection time.
This factor played a crucial role in the record time needed to reach peak production.
The platform, chartered from Modec, is strategically located 180 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, in a water depth of 1.900 meters.
Petrobras is the operator of the Búzios field, holding an 88,99% stake in the shared deposit, and counts on CNOOC and CNODC as partners, with 7,34% and 3,67% stakes, respectively.
Petrobras plans to implement eleven high-capacity production units in the Búzios field
The director of Engineering, Technology and Innovation at Petrobras, Carlos Travassos, highlighted the commitment of the technical team and the adoption of new technologies, stating that they plan to continue to obtain exceptional results in Búzios.
Petrobras plans to implement eleven units with high production capacity, equipped with the most modern decarbonization technologies in the Búzios field.
In addition to the record set by FPSO Almirante Barroso, other records notable achievements were achieved in the Santos Basin.
The FPSO P-76, in the Búzios field, reached its production peak in less than eight months.
Meanwhile, the FPSO Guanabara, in the Mero field, also in Santos Basin, reached its maximum capacity in 249 days, producing an impressive 180 thousand barrels of oil daily.
Petrobras and its partners continue to lead the oil exploration industry, demonstrating continued success and innovation in the pre-salt Santos Basin.
