Birth<br />
• World Oil Crisis escalate Brazil’s foreign payment debt<br />
1974<br />
• First discoveries in Campos Basin: Garoupa field,<br />
followed by Namorado and Enchova fields<br />
Challenges:<br />
• Produce the new province<br />
Key Premises:<br />
• Shortest time & Lowest cost
Strategic Decisions<br />
• O&G traditional concept: “jacket” Platform<br />
Long lead times<br />
• Campos Basin fields in 100 to 250m WD<br />
At that time such depths were “deepwater”<br />
• Solution:<br />
Early Production Systems (EPS)<br />
Develop technologies together with international suppliers and<br />
engineering companies<br />
• Benefits:<br />
Production antecipation (revenue$)<br />
Consolidates knowledge of the reservoirs while producing
Extensive use of Early Production Systems<br />
• Petrobras crafted a unique field development approach with many successful<br />
EPS before implementing the definitive systems<br />
• Some EPS even had a “phased” approach:<br />

From EPS to “Definitive” Systems<br />
Typical example: Marlim Field Development<br />
• Pre-Pilot: March 1991<br />
• Pilot: August 1992<br />
• Main Block: 5 Modules<br />
• Production Wells: 83<br />
• Injection Wells: 46<br />

Lessons learned from the first Early Production Systems<br />
applied on most Petrobras field developments subsea<br />
• Single well tiebacks with wet X-Mas Trees<br />
• Flexible risers & Flowlines<br />
• Same control umbilicals for static and dynamic applications<br />
• Umbilical with thermoplastic hoses<br />
• <strong>Subsea</strong> Manifolds<br />
• Direct hydraulic control for single well tiebacks<br />
• Multiplex Electrohydraulic control for subsea manifolds and complex<br />
wet X-Mas Trees<br />
Key Strategy adopted since 1993: Standardization of <strong>Subsea</strong> Equipment<br />
Wet X-Mas Trees: Main interfaces<br />
Umbilicals: Typical configurations for DH and EHMUX controls<br />
Flexible Risers & Flowlines: ID @ WD (each Supplier)
Petrobras has a comprehensive subsea equipment<br />
Installation & Support Vessel Fleet under long term contracts<br />
Vessel types:<br />
• Rigs<br />
• PLSV for Riser, Flowline and Umbilical installation<br />
• X-MasTree deployment by cable (SESV)<br />
• DSV support<br />
• Crane barge (1000 tons)
Important Challenges (<strong>Subsea</strong>) for Mature Fields<br />
