EWT Program - Enabling Optimization and Speed Up for Libra Block Production Systems Development in Ultra-Deepwater

Abstract

The paper uses a case study approach to present the challenges to develop a large and thick oil carbonate reservoir, full of opportunities but also of uncertainties. Additionally, Libra block development is under a Production Share Contract that was award to a Consortium where Petrobras is the operator in partnership with Shell, Total, CNOOC and CNPC. The paper will briefly present the de-risking plan and detail the EWT Program implementation and the way it is helping the full field development, which consists of four mega ultra deepwaters projects.
