Petrobras begins natural gas production in Lapa field
Rio de Janeiro – Petrobras and its partners in the BM-S-9 consortium started oil and natural gas production in the Lapa field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt layer, through the FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba.
This is the third unit to enter operation in the pre-salt this year, and the 11th largest definitive system operating in this layer. In addition, Lapa is the third pre-salt field of the Santos Basin to start production, after Lula and Sapinhoá.
Located approximately 270 km from the coast of the São Paulo state, at 2,140 m water depth, this Floating Production Storage Offloading Unit has the capacity to process daily 100 thousand barrels of oil and compress 5 MMcm of gas, and is interconnected to the Lapa field through production well 7-LPA-1D.
