FPSO Maria Quitéria begins operations in the pre-salt Campos Basin

—

Rio de Janeiro, October 15, 2024 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras communicates that FPSO Maria Quitéria initiated today production operations in the Jubarte field, located in the pre-salt Campos Basin in the area known as Parque das Baleias, in the State of Espírito Santo.

 

The unit has the capacity to produce up to 100 thousand barrels of oil per day and process up to 5 million cubic meters of gas daily. The project will have eight producing wells and eight injectors.

 

FPSO Maria Quitéria began operating before scheduled, given that the initial forecast was for 2025, according to the 2024-2028 Strategic Plan.

 

The platform is equipped with technologies to reduce emissions with greater operational efficiency combined with a reduction of around 24% in operational greenhouse gas emissions.

 

The FPSO, which measures 156 meters high and 333 meters long, is installed in a water depth of 1,385 meters, in the Jubarte field.

 

Parque das Baleias Integrated Project

 

The Parque das Baleias area is formed by the Jubarte, Baleia Anã, Cachalote, Caxaréu, Pirambú and Mangangá fields. Jubarte, the first filed, was discovered in 2001. In 2019, Petrobras and the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) signed an extension agreement for the concession term of the new unified Jubarte field until 2056, which allowed the FPSO Maria Quitéria to be implemented, a new production system for the Parque das Baleias Integrated Project, in addition to other complementary projects in the area.

 

Three other platforms are currently in operation at Parque das Baleias: P-57, P-58 and FPSO Cidade de Anchieta. With the operational startup of Maria Quitéria, this unit will account for approximately 40% of the field's production when it is completed.

 

Petrobras is the sole holder of production rights for the Jubarte field.
