BG Group and partners will commence drilling a second well on the BM-S-11 concession, Tupi P1, in June 2009. This well will also be tied back to the same FPSO.
The current extended well test on Tupi is expected to last 15 months. Production is expected to peak at around 15 000 barrels per day.
BG Group Chief Executive, Frank Chapman said: The Santos Basin is now one of the world’s most important hydrocarbon regions and will be a major source of global supply for decades to come. We are delighted to participate in the rapid development of the Tupi field and look forward to further close collaboration with our partner Petrobras to realise the full potential of the Santos Basin pre-salt.
