Petrobras
Petrobras has started producing oil in the Aruanã area, in the post-salt layer of the southern area of Campos Basin, through well 1-RJS-661, located in Block C-M-401. The FPSO Cidade de Rio das Ostras, which operates in the area, will produce up to 12 thousand barrels of oil per day, limited to the capacity of equipment used.
The test of well 1-RJS-661 belongs to the Discovery Assessment Plan (PAD), approved by Petroleum Agency (ANP) for the subsequent development of the area. The exploratory block C-M-401 is located between Pampo and Espardarte fields, in water depths ranging from 350 to 1,500 meters. The formation tests, which were carried out after the drilling of well 1-RJS-661, in March, 2009, evidenced the occurrence of 27 °API oil and recoverable volumes of approximately 280 million barrels of oil.
The EWT of Aruanã will be accomplished during approximately six months. The findings of the tests will aid the studies in order to better characterize the reservoir-rock, fluids and productive potential of oil accumulations in the block.
