Petrobras has begun oil production from the P-79 platform in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin, three months ahead of the date foreseen in the 2026-2030 Business Plan (PN 26-30) and five months ahead of the previous year's plan (PN 25-29).
The eighth platform in the Búzios field, with a capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and a gas compression capacity of 7.2 million m³ per day, will increase the field's installed production capacity to approximately 1.33 million barrels of oil per day. The project will allow for the export of gas to the mainland via interconnection with the Rota 3 gas pipeline, expanding Brazil's gas supply by up to 3 million m³ per day.
Production will be gradually increased as wells are connected to the platform, following the stabilization of the unit's systems.
The P-79 FPSO is a newly designed hull equipped with technologies for emission reduction and greater operational efficiency.
The FPSO is part of the Búzios 8 Production Development project, which includes 14 wells, eight producers and six injectors, equipped with intelligent completion systems that enhance production management. The unit will be interconnected with rigid pipelines for production, injection and gas export, and flexible pipelines for
