Petrobras has extended the charter and service agreement for the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis to continue operating in Tupi field at Santos Basin offshore Brazil until 2030.

Along with the extension, there will be upgrades to the FPSO to enhance production reliability and efficiency, maintain platform integrity, improve operational safety, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The FPSO currently has a production potential exceeding 50,000 barrels per day (bbl/d).

In operation in the Tupi field since October 2010, the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis was the first high-capacity FPSO to operate in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin, cementing its importance in the history of offshore exploration in Brazil, Petrobras noted.

The Tupi consortium comprises Petrobras (67.216%), Shell (23.024%), Petrogal (9.209%), and PPSA (0.551%).
