The field’s three wells connect to the existing Lapa floating production storage and offloading, 12km away. The wells have been producing the North-East part of the Lapa field since 2016.
Following the discovery of Sapinhoá, the Lapa field was divided into two sub-blocks. The entire commercial production of the Lapa field began in late 2016 with the 100,000 barrels-per-day FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba MV27.
Lapa South-West will raise the Lapa field’s output by 25,000 barrels of oil per day from 2025, increasing the total production to 60,000 per day.
