FPSO already in brazilian waters

The FPSO Atlanta arrived in Brazil this week and has already started anchoring operations in the field of the same name, in the Santos Basin. Its arrival is on schedule as planned by the company, which aims to start exploratory activities in August this year.

Built by Yinson, the vessel has the capacity to process 50,000 barrels of oil per day, 140,000 barrels of water per day, and store 1.6 million barrels of oil. The FPSO Atlanta and all exploration in the region are expected to create jobs, new charter contracts for offshore support vessels, and boost the national economy.

As reported by us last month, six AHTS vessels have already been contracted, five from GRUPO CBO  (Parintins, AH Valetta, Bossa Nova, Iguaçu, and Endeavour) and one from Bram (Kirt Chouest). However, it is only a matter of time before the company opens up new chartering opportunities.

Another FPSO on its way to Brazil that promises to stir the market is the Maria Quitéria, which left China a week ago, and will be electric. This vessel, also built by Yinson, will operate for Petrobras in the Jubarte Field in the Campos Basin, with an estimated oil production of 100,000 barrels per day starting in 2025.
