Atlanta Field FPSO Resumes Production Offshore Brazil

Brazilian oil and gas company Enauta has concluded the maintenance operation of a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel operating in the Atlanta field, offshore Brazil.

The five-day maintenance operation was carried out on the FPSO Petrojarl I.

Enauta will replace the Petrojarl I FPSO with a larger capacity FPSO Atlanta, which recently arrived in Brazil, having left Dubai in March, following the conclusion of construction activities and sea trials.

Petrojarl I has a production capacity of 30,000 barrels of oil per day and a storage capacity of 180,000, while the FPSO Atlanta has the capacity to process 50,000 barrels of oil per day, 140,000 barrels of water per day and store 1.6 million. barrels of oil.

Anchoring operations at Atlanta Field for the Atlanta FPSO began in mid-May 2024.

The FPSO will be anchored with 20 mooring lines. Each mooring line, made of hybrid chain and polyester components, is more than 2.5 km long, giving a combined mooring length of almost 50 km, Enauta said earlier.

Enauta maintains the target of first oil production from the Atlanta FPSO set for August 2024.
