The unit started production through well 7-MLS-163HPRJS, which is expected to deliver of about 16,000 barrels per day.
Installed at a water depth of 1,670m, the platform is designed to process about 100 thousand barrels of oil per day when it reaches maximum capacity, expected to take place in the first quarter of next year.
Petrobras said P-56 will have the capacity to process and treat about six million cubic meters per day of natural gas.
P-56 will be interconnected to 21 wells, of which ten will be producers and 11 water injectors, and the produced oil will be sent through oil pipeline to platform P-38, which is a floating storage and offloading vessel type, located 20km from the platform.
The oil will be transferred to shuttle tankers and the natural gas will be delivered through gas pipeline to the Cabiunas terminal.
