Over The Years, The Productivity Of This Pilot Asset Operated By Petrobras Accumulated 338 Million Barrels Of Oil

Ten years ago, Petrobras was installing the Tupi Pilot, which is a system that allowed for an equivalent production of 100 thousand barrels of oil and 5 million cubic meters of gas from the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, at a depth of 2,149 meters. The asset has 3 water injection wells, 1 gas well, and 6 production wells.

Incomparably, today Tupi is the largest oil and gas production field in deep waters on the planet. With a decade of accumulated production under Petrobras operation, Tupi reached the mark of 264 million barrels of oil and 11.8 billion cubic meters of gas, totaling 338 million barrels of oil equivalent of oil and gas.

The well 3-RJS-646 has been operating in this system practically since the beginning and has the highest accumulated production among the wells operated by the company, at around 90 million barrels of oil equivalent. It currently still produces approximately 20 thousand barrels per day. Three of the top 20 wells with the highest accumulated production from Petrobras are producing for this system.

Importance For The Development Of The Pre-Salt

The production system of the Tupi Pilot was responsible for gathering fundamental technical information for the development of large oil accumulations discovered in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. In this first system, a large part of the technologies that made production under the challenging pre-salt conditions possible were implemented and today represent an important legacy for the oil industry. These technologies earned Petrobras the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) award in 2015.

The Tupi field is predominantly located in the BM-S-11 concession, operated by Petrobras (65%), in partnership with Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda (25%) and Petrogal Brasil S.A. (10%).

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

For the first time in history, scientists claim that Africa is splitting in two, and the Earth’s crust in Kenya and Ethiopia has thinned to 12.7 km, crossing the point of no return.

Solar and wind energy are being shut down in Brazil due to a lack of grid infrastructure, while companies lose up to 25% of revenue, cut jobs, and suspend investments, exposing a bottleneck that transforms available clean energy into large-scale waste.
