“The deployment of these two new production systems, appropriate to the mature field exploration format, provides operational continuity to the Marlim and Voador fields, increasing production to an average of 150,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed),” the Brazilian energy major said in its press statement.  

Anchored in a water depth of 927m, Anna Nery is interconnected to 32 wells.

 The unit is expected to achieve peak production capacity in 2025.

The average daily production from Petrobras’ assets in the Campos Basin is currently at 560,000boed, and is expected to reach 900,000boed in 2027.

Recently, reports emerged that Petrobras may relocate a rig it has built to drill at the mouth of the Amazon River Basin to another site if it does not get environmental clearance to operate there.

It also recently abandoned plans to sell its stake in the Tayrona block off the coast of Colombia.
