MODEC announces the arrival of the FPSO Anita Garibaldi platform in Brazil, which is now preparing for final commissioning
Japanese vessel operator FPSO MODEC recently announced the arrival of the Anita Garibaldi platform in Brazil.
The vessel will undergo final commissioning operations to prepare for work in the Campos Basin pre-salt for the country's state-owned energy giant, Petrobras.
The company has an ongoing project to revitalize Campo de Marlim, which will be supported by the Japanese company's FPSO platform.
The final commissioning operations of the vessel Anita Garibaldi will take place in a shipyard in the state of Espírito Santo.
According to MODEC, the FPSO left the DSIC Marine Yard shipyard in the city of Dalian, China, embarking for Brazil on October 6 last year.
It has an incredible processing capacity of 80 barrels of crude oil and 7 million cubic meters of gas per day.
In this way, the MODEC vessel will be essential for Petrobras' Campos Basin pre-salt project, scheduled for completion in 2026.
There will be 43 pre-salt wells connected to the FPSO platform. She is the second component of the revitalization project, joining Anna Nery, which is scheduled to start production in 2023.
Petrobras will use both to replace nine platforms currently in operation in the Marlim and Voador fields (P-18, P-19, P-20, P-26, P-32, P-33, P-35, P- 37 and P-47).
With the arrival of FPSO Anita Garibaldi, from MODEC, Petrobras takes another step towards the advances in its pre-salt revitalization project.
