The Drillship 10,000 Will Operate in Northeastern Waters to Confirm the New Discovery by the State-Owned Company
The drilling unit of Petrobras known as drillship 10,000, belonging to Petrobras and operationally managed by Transocean, will soon leave the Gulf of Mexico, in the American sector, heading towards Brazil. The drillship has been operating in the region for about 365 days on the Cascade-Chinook project and is set to arrive in our country in less than 1 month for seabed drilling in the northeastern region.
Petrobras has not given 100% certainty, but the unit is expected to be allocated to the Farfan project, according to experts’ expectations. The project anticipates long-duration tests with the Floating Storage and Offloading Unit (FSPO) Cidade de São Vicente starting in August. This first intervention is due to the discovery of oil in the SEAL-M-426 sector, where Petrobras operates alongside 8 other sectors in this site of deepwater assets (from 300 to 1500 meters down to the ocean floor).

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
This area in Sergipe has been highly sought after by the market and naturally by Petrobras itself, and there is significant anticipation for confirmation of oil in this location for boundary extension. Some fields have already been discovered and secured by the state-owned company, they are: Cumbé, Poçp Verde, Moita Bonita, Muriú, and Barra. According to Petrobras, this drillship will remain operational in the Northeast until September of next year.
