The drilling success was the outcome of the revision of the area’s geological model and of the application of new seismic data interpretation techniques. Since there is already production infrastructure installed in the area, the new well is expected to be interconnected to platform P-8 and to start producing no later than next August.
The discovery is the result of the strategy of exploring new producing areas that neighbor installed units aiming to take advantage of the capacity of exiting facilities, which reduces production costs for Petrobras, as well as to speed up the production of new volumes of oil.
