Petrobras FPSO Anita Garibaldi Leaves China Shipyard for Brazil

Petrobras informed that the platform vessel Anita Garibaldi left the DSIC Marine Yard shipyard, in the city of Dalian, China, on 6 October left for Brazil. Of the FPSO type (floating unit that produces, stores and transfers oil), the new system will be installed in the Marlim and Voador fields, in the Campos Basin, with production start scheduled for the third quarter of 2023. With the capacity to produce up to 80,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and process up to 7 million m3 of gas/day, the new FPSO will be strategic for the Campos Basin Renewal Plan, aimed at renewing mature assets operated by the company in the region. Petrobras is investing US$ 16 billion in this program, which is part of its Strategic Plan for the period from 2022 to 2026. The new platform will be connected to 43 wells, with peak production scheduled for 2026. The Marlim Revitalization Project plans to replace the nine platforms currently operating in the Marlim and Voador fields (P-18, P-19, P-20, P-26, P-32, P-33, P-35, P-37 and P-47) for the new FPSOs Anita Garibaldi and Anna Nery – the latter being scheduled to start production in the first quarter of 2023.
