With the inspections by the Brazilian Navy and the successful inclination tests carried out since last Wednesday (11), the Petrobras FPSO leaves the EJA towards the Santos Basin pre-salt

Petrobras spent around BRL 10,66 billion to build the FPSO P-68 at Estaleiro Jurong Aracruz, in Espirito Santo. With excellence and works on schedule, the unit finally left the EJA today (16th) around 6:00 am heading to the Santos Basin pre-salt layer, where it will produce in the field of Berbigão and Sururu.

According to the ANP (National Petroleum Agency) 1,2 oil wells will be drilled by 2023, and despite this being Petrobras' last order in 2019, there will still be other units ordered for years to come.
O FPSOs It has a daily processing capacity of 150 barrels of oil and six million cubic meters of gas, can store up to 1,6 million barrels of oil and will operate in a water depth of 2,2 meters.

The first oil is scheduled for 2019, if the tests are successful.

The fields of Berbigão and Sururu, as well as Oeste de Atapu, were delimited in the former Iara area (block BM-S-11A). Petrobras operates with 42,5%, alongside Shell (25%), Total (22,5%) and Petrogal (10%).

The next work that EJA will carry out in 2020

FPSO P-71, which is under construction in China, will come to Brazil in 2020 for EJA to integrate the modules into the unit's hull. Despite the sinking of these two power generation modules (M-15 and M-16), about 120 km off the coast of Itajaí – SC, Petrobras in a note said at the time that it is doing its best so that there are no delays in the established production schedule.
