The Maria Quitéria platform ship produced its first oil on Tuesday (10/15) in the Jubarte field, pre-salt in the Espírito Santo portion of the Campos Basin. The unit can produce up to 100,000 barrels of oil a day and process up to 5 million cubic meters of gas. It will be interconnected to a total of eight producing wells and eight injectors.
 
FPSO Maria Quitéria's entry was brought forward; it was initially scheduled for 2025, according to the 2024-2028 Strategic Plan. Petrobras is the sole holder of the production rights for the Jubarte field, located in the area known as Parque das Baleias in Espírito Santo.
 
The platform is FPSO (floating production, storage, and transfer system). It is equipped with technologies to reduce emissions with greater operational efficiency and a reduction of around 24% in operational greenhouse gas emissions.

With a height of 156 meters and a length of 333 meters, the FPSO is installed at a water depth of 1,385 meters. It will also have the capacity to generate 100 MW of energy to supply a city of 230,000 inhabitants.
 
Parque das Baleias Integrated Project
 
The Parque das Baleias area is made up of the Jubarte, Baleia Anã, Cachalote, Caxaréu, Pirambú and Mangangá fields. The first field, Jubarte, was discovered in 2001. In 2019, Petrobras and the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) signed an agreement to extend the concession period until 2056 for the new unified Jubarte field, which enabled the implementation of FPSO Maria Quitéria, the latest production system for the Parque das Baleias Integrated Project, as well as complementary projects in the area.
 
Three other platforms operate in Parque das Baleias: P-57, P-58, and FPSO Cidade de Anchieta. When Maria Quitéria starts operating at full load, this unit will account for around 40% of the field's production.
