Petrobras has found evidence of oil from drilling a deepwater well in the Marlim Leste field in the Campos Basin. Well 9-MLL-79D-RJS was started on January 20, at a water depth of 1,691 m. Still no data on completion. The well was drilled by Norbe IX, from Ocyan.
The company has invested in the prolongation of asset life. Last year, two new development wells were drilled in the field and recently the FPSO Cidade de Niterói contract, which has been producing in the area since 2009, was extended until 2024.
Petrobras has already made a discovery in the pre-salt field, baptized as Tracajá. There have also been discoveries in the pre-salt of neighboring Marlim and Marlim Sul fields. Opportunities mean additional oil volumes that can be accessed in future revitalization or asset redevelopment plans.
