Petrobras starts-up third well at Sapinhoá field
Petrobras has commenced oil production from its third well, 7-SPH-04-SPS, at a water depth of 2,120 metres, in the Sapinhoá field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt region. The well has an estimated production potential of 26,000 b/d and is connected to the Cidade de São Paulo floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel via a platform connecting system known as BSR (buoyancy supported risers). It is the second production well to enter operation through the BSR gathering system, following the start-up of well SPS-77A, which has been producing approximately 36,000 b/d since 18 February 2014.
The Cidade de São Paulo has the capacity to process up to 120,000 b/d and has been in operation since 5 January 2013, when it was directly connected to well SPS-55. A fourth production well is to be connected early in the second half of the year, bringing the platform to full output capacity.
Sapinhoá is operated by Petrobras (45%), in partnership with BG (30%) and Repsol (25%).
