Petrobras FPSO P-78 achieves first gas injection at Brazil's Buzios field

The Liberian-flagged P-78 is the seventh unit planned for the Buzios field and will join six other platforms currently in operation: P-74, P-75, P-76, P-77, Almirante Barroso, and Almirante Tamandaré.

The Búzios field is located in ultra-deep waters of the Santos Basin at depths of up to 2,100 metres, approximately 180 kilometres off the coast of Rio de Janeiro state.

The Búzios Six project involves 13 wells: six producers (with two convertible to injectors), six water alternating gas injectors, and one gas injector.
