Shell Starts up Brazilian Lula N Field
Anglo-Dutch major Shell and partners have started production at the Lula North deep-water project in the Brazilian Santos Basin, it said February 1.
Production at Lula North is processed by the P-67 floating production and storage offloading vessel (FPSO) and is operated by Petrobras (pictured below). The production hub is the seventh FPSO deployed at Lula and the third in a series of standardised vessels built for the consortium. It is designed to process up to 150,000 barrels of oil and 6mn m3/day of gas.

Shell and its partners began production at Lula Extreme South with the P-69 FPSO in October 2018. Shell has a 25% stake in the Lula consortium, operated by Petrobras (65%) and Portugal's Galp (10%). Discovered in 2006, Lula is the largest producing field in Brazil and accounts for 30% of the country’s oil and gas production. Shell acquired the asset as part of its BG acquisition.
