Petrobras starts drillings

Petrobras began drilling well 4-BRSA-1392D-ESS in the Jubarte field, at a water depth of 968 meters. The site is part of the Parque das Baleias, offshore south of Espírito Santo, in the Campos Basin and is one of the main oil producers in Brazil. 

The Brazilian oil company conducts the activity with the Brava Star drillship, from Constellation. The vessel is the most modern unit in the Constellation fleet. It was designed to operate in water depths of up to 12,000 feet (approximately 3,658 meters) and has a drilling capacity of up to 40,000 feet (approximately 12,192 meters).

“About a month ago, the FPSO Maria Quitéria left China heading to Brazil. It will operate in the Jubarte Field, with an estimated production of 100 thousand barrels of oil per day from 2025. The national offshore market and even International are eager to see how the vessel will operate, which promises to innovate in reducing the emission of polluting gases”, recalls Omar Darian, Chartering Manager at WSB.
