Búzios: The Giant Field in the Santos Basin
Located in the Santos Basin, the Búzios field is about 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The area was discovered in 2010, and Petrobras began its operations in 2018. The field is the second largest in Brazil in terms of volume and reserves, second only to Tupi. The current development plan for Búzios includes 11 platforms.
Partnerships and Record Production Propel Petrobras
Petrobras is the main operator of the field, holding a 88.98% stake. The state-owned company partners with CNOOC (7.34%) and CNPC (3.67%), with Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) acting as manager. The field achieved a historical milestone on February 24, with a record production of 800,000 barrels of oil per day. This result was achieved following the arrival of the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, the sixth production unit on site.
