Comments
The Jubarte field was discovered in January 2001, as a result of drilling of the 1-ESS-100 well in the south of the state of Espírito Santo at water depth of 1,323 meters and about 77 Km offshore. It has reserves of 600 million boe of 19 degree API heavy oil and is currently producing 18,000b/d. The drillship Seillean was used to perform extended duration well tests in the Espirito Santo SS-110 well. Petrobras has also used the Seillean for extended well testing in the Roncador field using an integrated drill pipe riser connected to a wet christmas tree, both supplied by FMC CBV.
Jubarte Development comprises two phases: Phase1, alread in development consists in 4 production wells connected to a FPSO (P-34) and Phase2, scheduled to 2010 when FPSO P-54 start-up production putting in production 27 wells (21 production and 6 injection).
FMC CBV delivered to Petrobras in 2005 a WLL Horizontal Tree for ESP with two ball valves incorporated in the tubing hanger eliminating wireline operations and tree cap installed by ROV. FMC CBV also in cooperation with Petrobras will supply a Subsea Boosting System for ESP installed on the seabed, outside the production well in the 1st quarter of 2006.
