Description

Petrobras is a world leader in FPSO technology development and experience. The company has been operating FPSOs offshore Brazil since 1982, and currently hosts a portfolio of 18 units. On Nov. 29, 2006, MMS approved Petrobras' conceptual plan for the Cascade/Chinook project in Walker Ridge in 8,200 ft (2,499 m) of water, which calls for the first application of an FPSO in the US Gulf of Mexico. Petrobras' development plan includes the use of five new technologies in the US GoM, including an FPSO with disconnectable turret, crude oil transportation via shuttle vessels, subsea electric submersible pumps, free-standing hybrid risers, and a polyester mooring system. On Aug. 14, 2008, Petrobras' Walker Ridge Asset Manager, César Palagi, will give an exclusive presentation, followed by a live online Q&A session, on Petrobras' progress in deploying its world-class FPSO technology as an industry first in the US GoM.
