The oil company Total has started drilling in the Lapa field, in the Santos pre-salt. The campaign is the company’s first as an operator in the Brazilian pre-salt.
Drilling was conducted by the DS-9 rig, from Ensco, last Thursday (06/20), which has a contract with Total to also drill four to six more wells, and production will be handled by the FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba.

The contract with the DS-9 allows for the possibility of drilling two more wells, totaling 6 wells, as Total’s project for the Lapa field includes three production wells and three injection wells.

In April, Total signed a contract with Aker Solutions to provide tools for the Lapa Nordeste (BM-S-9A Block) field.

The contract will be executed at the Technology Center in Brazil, and the first delivery is expected in November 2019. “This project will be the first supply of equipment for a COI in Brazil and is an important step for diversifying our portfolio in the country.
Another significant contract from Total was signed with TechnipFMC for services supplying flexible pipes for oil production, gas lift, and gas injection, as well as associated accessories.

The Lapa field was acquired by Total from Petrobras in January 2018 for US$ 1.95 billion. As the majority partner, holding 35%, Total operates the field, with partners Repsol-Sinopec holding 25% and Petrobras 10%.
