Description
- The field is high temperature and high pressure
- The PMXL-1 Platform is capable of treating 15 million cubic meters of gas per day and it will be attached to the seabed at a depth of 172 meters from the waterline
- The platform also acts as a gas receiving hub, taking gas from the Urugua And Tambau Oil And Gas Fields and the Lula Oil Field
- The gas produced in Mexilhão will be offloaded via a 34-inch offshore gas pipeline to the Monteiro Lobato Gas Treatment Unit (UTGCA) in Caraguatatuba, Northern Coast of the State of São Paulo.
- Then, it is transported from the Caraguatatuba-Taubaté Gas Pipeline (Gastau) to the existing pipelines
