Posted by According to a press release by Equinor, Peregrino is finally back producing since July 16th after production was halted on April 2020 amid COVID lockdowns and the need for some maintenance work. Since then, the company conducted an extensive number of repairs and renovations on their infrastructure, installed a new fixed platform – Peregrino C – and drilled 5 new wells, the newest one (9-PRG-75i-RJS) already being drilled from the new rig according to ANP data.
