Field and context

Búzios is a supergiant pre-salt oil-and-gas field on the Santos Basin Outer High, around 180 kilometres off Rio de Janeiro. Its principal reservoirs are heterogeneous Barremian–Aptian lacustrine carbonates: Barra Velha microbial, spherulitic and reworked facies overlying coquina-rich Itapema intervals, sealed by Ariri evaporites. The field is developed in discrete subsea-to-FPSO modules; Almirante Barroso serves the Búzios 5 module.
