The drillship West Tellus, from Seadrill, was in Macaé, near Santana Island, and headed to the location yesterday (21). The unit underwent inspection and maintenance of SPS (special periodic survey), allowing the drilling campaign to be anticipated.
The drilling of the Naru well may exceed an average of 60 to 90 days. If Petrobras decides to perform the formation test in the area, the campaign could extend by an additional 30 days, that is, 90 days beyond the schedule set by the company.
Due to the global oil crisis and the pandemic, Petrobras’s plan to advance the drilling of Naru in the Campos Basin surprised the market.
The pioneering well of C-M-657 did not appear to be on Petrobras’s priority list, and according to the contractual commitments of the concession, the consortium would have until the end of the third quarter of 2025 to fulfill the first phase of the minimum exploratory program.
