Yinson's floating production storage and offloading platform (FPSO) Maria Quitéria recently produced its first oil in the Jubarte field, pre-salt in the Espírito Santo portion of the Campos Basin off Brazil, Brazilian state-owned energy company Petrobras has confirmed.

The FPSO can produce up to 100,000 barrels of oil a day and process up to five million cubic metres of gas. It will be interconnected to a total of eight producing wells and eight injectors.

Petrobras is the sole holder of the production rights for the Jubarte field, located in the area known as Parque das Baleias in Espírito Santo.

With a height of 156 metres and a length of 333 metres, the 2003-built FPSO is installed at a water depth of 1,385 metres. Petrobras said it will also have the capacity to generate 100 MW of energy to supply a city of 230,000 inhabitants.
