The Petrobras P-48 Platform Was One of the Units That the Company Placed in Hibernation Due to the Coronavirus Crisis

Recently, Petrobras placed several oil and gas production units in hibernation due to the coronavirus crisis and its effects. Among the units that were put into hibernation was the company’s FPSO P-48. After almost a month stopped, the FPSO resumed operations in the Barracuda and Caratinga fields, according to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) to PetroleumHoje.
