Peregrino Heavy Oil Field
Summary Information
- Operator: Equinor
- Country: Brazil
- Location: BM-C-7, Southern Campos Basin
- Production start: 2011
- Partners: Statoil - 60%, Sinochem - 40%
- Type: Heavy Oil
- Estimated Reserves:
- Production Volume: plateau of 100,000 bbl/day
Description
- A total of 30 horizontal oil producers and seven injection wells are due to be drilled on Peregrino.
- The operation includes two fixed drilling platforms (WHP A and WHP B), and an FPSO
- The floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, Peregrino FPSO, which is designed for processing 100,000 BPD oil with a storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels of oil
- Peregrino II development consists of a new wellhead platform (C) and a tie back to the FPSO
- A total of 21 wells – 15 oil producers and 6 water injectors – are planned to be drilled as part of the Phase II development
- The Peregrino phase 2 project involves the addition of a third fixed platform to the field, Peregrino C, which has already been installed, and which will be able to drill wells to reach reservoirs inaccessible by platforms A and B. This will increase its productive life by at least 20 years and will add 250-300 million barrels in recoverable reserves, with the first oil expected in the first half of 2022.
