Seatrium delivers first turnkey FPSO vessels to Brazil’s Petrobras

It will be deployed in the Buzios field, the largest deepwater oil field globally.

Seatrium Limited has announced that it is delivering the Petrobras 78 (P-78), the first of a series of turnkey Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSO), to Brazil’s national oil company, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A (Petrobras).

The sailaway ceremony took place two weeks ago at Seatrium’s Singapore yard, and upon delivery, the P-78 will be deployed in the prolific Buzios field, the largest deepwater oil field globally.

Brazil's Buzios field has an impressive production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day, 7.2 million cubic metres of gas per day, and a storage capacity of 2 million barrels of oil.

The P-78 will rank amongst the largest in the global operating fleet of FPSOs.
