Petrobras
OTC Distinguished Achievement Award for Companies
This award recognizes Petrobras pre-salt development for their
successful implementation of ultra-deepwater solutions and
setting new water depth records.
Petrobras increased their efforts in technology development to
exploit this hard-to-access resource, in waters up to 2,200 m
(7,200 ft). By the end of 2014, Petrobras was producing more
than 700,000 bpd of oil in the pre-salt layer of the Campos and
Santos basins.
The oil and gas production in this challenging environment demanded the development of
different riser systems, which were successfully applied and are now available for the
industry. Additionally, Petrobras achieved a significant reduction in the drilling and
completion time for wells.
POTENTIAL OF THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL
