After Petrobras managed to put the P-74 operational in Campo de Búzios on the 20th, others will start operating by the end of 2018

A Petrobras managed to start up the FPSO P-74 operationally and start producing at full steam in Campo de Búzios, in this area that preceded a costly session. In addition to this unit, 6 more are planned, completely operational and also ready to produce, which are actually very relevant numbers, considering the last few years without a projection of investments of this level due to the economic recession. Below, check out the units that will complete the fleet in 2018:

First Semester

With the P-74 already in operation, Petrobras informs that the FPSO Campos dos Goytacazes is also scheduled to start operating before July, they are waiting for Ibama to release the environmental license at once so that the state-owned company can run the unit for production in the Tartaruga Verde field, located in the Campos Basin. It is worth remembering that Petrobras is selling a part of this exploration block to foreign companies, which had already been foreseen in the state-owned company's divestment plans.

Second semester

In the second half of the year, the production platforms that will be ready will be:

•  P-67 destined for the Lula North Field
• P-68 destined for Campo de Berbigão
• P-69 destined for the Lula Sul Field
• P-75 Destined for Campo de Buzios 2
• P-76 Destined for Campo de Búzios 3

Together, these platforms, which have yet to enter the fleet, would reach the sum of 750 barrels of oil daily. When the two units in the first half of the year join the fleet, the installed capacity will reach an incredible 1 million barrels per day or more.
