Posted by Petrobras announced yesterday that the platform P-71, formerly designated to take part in the revitalization process of Tupi, will instead serve as the long-term infrastructure for Itapu. With that, the company also announced the bidding for Itapu’s platform – which has been postponed multiple times since last year – is therefore canceled.
This decision impacts the development process of both fields: Itapu should have its first oil earlier than previously expected, while the revitalization process of Tupi will be reassessed on a new Development Plan in 2021.
The platform P-71 is in the final stages of construction and has a production capacity of 150,000 bbl/day.
