Description
- Located in a water depth of 1,200 meters, showing crude oil with an API between 14º and 17º
- Platform P-61 is a TLWP (Tension-Leg Wellhead Platform) which is connected to P 63 FPSO
- Thirteen production wells will be interconnected to P-61
- The production wells of P-63 are connected to the platform via subsea flexible pipes equipped with electric heating known as IPB (Integrated Production Bundle) and the field’s 18 production wells feature subsea centrifuge pumps.
- P-63 has a daily production capacity of 140,000 barrels of oil (bopd) and 35 million cubic metres of gas.
- The SS-88 TAD (Tender Assisted Drilling) semi-submersible unit is anchored next to P-61
