Equinor has approved development plans for BM-C-33, a gas-condensate field in Campos basin presalt offshore Brazil. The license lies about 200 km from shore in water depths up to 2,900 m.

Well streams will be sent to a floating production, storage, and offloading unit (FPSO) at the field. Gas and oil-condensate will be processed at the FPSO to sales specifications and exported.

Crude will be offloaded by shuttle tankers and shipped to the international market after ship-to-ship transfer. A new-build hull has been selected to accommodate a 30-year field lifetime.

Gas will be exported though an integrated offshore gas pipeline from the FPSO to a new dedicated onshore gas receiving facility inside the Petrobras TECAB site at Cabiúnas, before connecting to the domestic gas transmission network.

Gas export capacity is planned for 16,000 cu m/day with average exports expected to be 14,000 cu m/day. Daily oil processing capacity is 20,000 cu m.

Equinor is operator (35%) with partners Repsol Sinopec Brasil (35%) and Petrobras (30%).
