RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil --The Cidade do Rio de Janeiro FPSO went online today, according to Petrobras. The Espadarte field facility in the Campos basin can produce 100,000 b/d of oil, 2.5 MMcm/d (88 MMcf/d) of gas, and store 1.6 MMbbl of oil.
Full production is expected this year with nine subsea completions – five for production and four for water injection. A new oil lifting system developed by Cenpes, the Petrobras research center, uses subsea pumps to help move the oil onto the FPSO.
The FPSO is contracted from Modec International LLC.
