Petrobras has commenced oil and natural gas production at its P-75 platform in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil.

The FPSO will be able to produce up to 150,000 barrels of oil and six million cubic metres of natural gas, through ten producing wells.
According to Petrobras, the oil production will be offloaded by relief vessels while gas will be drained by pre-salt pipeline routes.
Prior to P-75, the company started production at three other platforms this year, including the FPSO Cidade Campos dos Goytacazes in the Tartaruga Verde field, the P-69 in the Lula field and the P-74 in the Búzios field.
The P-69 FPSO platform began production last month.
