GE signed a frame agreement in 2012 to supply subsea wellheads for pre-salt fields.

Petrobras said the most productive oil wells in Brazil are in the pre-salt fields.

Located in the Sapinhoá field, in the Santos Basin, the best well in the country produces an average of 34,000 barrels per day.

The well is one of four interconnected to FPSO Cidade de São Paulo, which reached its maximum capacity of 120,000 barrels per day in July.

As of July, the Santos Basin pre-salt areas had 28 producing wells, 13 in the Santos Basin and 15 in the Campos Basin.

By late 2018, 20 new platforms are anticipated to be deployed in the region, of which 19 will be in the Santos Basin.
