Summary Information
- Operator: Petrobras
- Country: Brazil
- Location: Uruguá Pole, Santos Basin around 130 miles offshore from Rio de Janeiro
- Production start: 2010
- Partners:
- Type: Oil & Gas
- Estimated Reserves: The Tambau field is estimated to hold gas reserves of 1.8 tcf (trillion cubic feet), while Urugua holds 250 million bbl (barrels) of oil and 1.3 tcf of gas
- Production Volume:
+++ Description
- The reservoir of the Uruguá field holds 33º API light oil and non-associated gas. The development plan for the field foresees four horizontal oil wells and five gas producer wells, which will be connected directly to the FPSO; The Tambaú field will have three horizontal wells of non-associated gas, which will be interconnected to a submarine production manifold to be connected to Cidade De Santos Mv20 FPSO
- The FPSO will be capable of processing 350 million cubic feet per day of gas, 35,000 barrels of oil per day, and having a storage capacity of approximately 700,000 barrels
- The natural gas is transported to the Mexilhão Gas Field by pipeline
+++ Contractors
- **MODEC:** Supply, charter and operations of a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel
