+++ Description

• The Canapu field is located east of the state of Espirito Santo about 75 km off the coast of Brazil in 1608 meters water depth.
• The project includes a 22 km long gas flowline to produce gas from a single well, ESS-138, in the Canapu Field to the [[[Cidade De Vitoria FPSO]]] anchored at a water depth of 1386 meters in the Golfinho field.
• The produced fluids will be processed at the FPSO and later transferred to land through an existing gas export pipeline. A pipe-in-pipe (PIP) flowline system has been selected for the tieback of the Canapu field to manage hydrate concerns.
