Jan. 5 (Reuters) Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras expects to start production at its P-79 oil platform in the Santos Basin in the second quarter, director for engineering, technology and innovation Renata Baruzzi told Reuters on Friday.
- Petrobras had previously projected the start of production at the P-79 platform for August this year.
- The platform will have capacity to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).
- It will be the eighth in the Buzios oil field, which is the largest in Brazil in terms of output.
- Petrobras also expects to contract platforms for its deep-water project Sergipe in April, Baruzzi said.
- It has sent a counteroffer to SBM Offshore for the commissioning of floating production vessels, and is now waiting for an answer to sign the contract, she said.
