Each of the FPSOs will have a production capacity of 150 000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and approximately 212 million cubic feet of gas per day.
The company said that the modules are being tendered for start-up in 2014.
One FPSO will be allocated to the Guara Norte area on block BM-S-9 and the other to the southern area of the Cernambi field (formerly known as Iracema) on block BM-S-11.
Till date, with the addition of these two new modules, a total of 13 FPSOs are being procured for the two blocks, which include the Carioca and Guara areas on BM-S-9 and, on BM-S-11, the Lula (formerly known as Tupi) and Cernambi fields as well as the Iara area.
