First cargo offloaded from Papa-Terra heavy oil development in Brazils Campos Basin

The first cargo was successfully offloaded from what is expected to be Chevron's largest investment in Brazil - the offshore Papa-Terra heavy oil development in the Campos Basin. The Chevron owned Suezmax ‘Brasil Voyager’, was specifically built with to offload oil from Papa-Terra. The first offloading at Papa-Terra represents an important milestone for the company, reinforces the progress being made by the project and highlights the success of the partnership between Chevron and Petrobras," said Les Wood, a manager with Chevron Brazil. On 9th May, ‘Brasil Voyager’lifted about 740,000 barrels of oil from Papa-Terra's FPSO. The oil came from the first two production wells in the field. The Suezmax is expected to offload around 950,000 barrels of crude from Papa-Terra every 40 days.
