The FPSO Almirante Tamandaré has departed from China en route to Brazil. Built at the CMHI shipyard, the FPSO will operate in the Búzios Field in the Santos Basin and will have the capacity to produce up to 225,000 boed. In March of this year, Petrobras reached a cumulative production of 1 billion barrels of oil in Búzios, with the combined output of five units operating in the field.
This is the third FPSO to leave China for Brazil this year. The Maria Quitéria departed in May and is currently rounding Africa. It is expected to arrive in Brazil in the last quarter of this year.
The Marechal Duque de Caxias left the Asian country in February and has been in Brazil since May, about to commence operations.
Another FPSO in the final adjustment phase is the Atlanta, which left Dubai in March and arrived in Brazil in May, to work for Enauta.
