Petrobras begins natural gas production in Lapa field
Rio de Janeiro – Petrobras and its partners in the BM-S-9 consortium started oil and natural gas production in the Lapa field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt layer, through the FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba.
This is the third unit to enter operation in the pre-salt this year, and the 11th largest definitive system operating in this layer. In addition, Lapa is the third pre-salt field of the Santos Basin to start production, after Lula and Sapinhoá.
