Bacalhau 可采储量超过 10 亿桶油当量，是 Equinor 迄今为止开发的最大的国际海上油田。

Equinor总裁兼首席执行官安德斯·奥佩达尔表示：“Bacalhau项目的安全投产标志着Equinor的一个重要里程碑。Bacalhau代表了新一代项目，集规模效益、成本效益和低碳强度于一体。凭借这一进展，我们将增强油气生产的寿命，并确保未来数十年的价值创造。”

Bacalhau油田位于巴西桑托斯盆地盐下层，水深超过2000米，拥有世界上最先进的浮式生产储卸油船（FPSO）之一，长370米，宽64米，日产量为22万桶。

第一阶段开发包括19口油井、生产井和注水井，随着产量的提升和维持，这些油井将陆续投入使用。Equinor计划在2026年产能提升阶段提供最新进展。

“该项目已累计投入约7000万小时，并取得了可靠的安全成果。我要衷心感谢我们的合作伙伴、供应商和员工，是他们成就了这一成就。Bacalhau项目规模庞大、水深深且碳排放强度较低，充分证明了我们的工程实力和国际运营能力。”项目、钻井和采购执行副总裁Geir Tungesvik说道。

Bacalhau FPSO 采用联合循环燃气轮机 (CCGT) 技术，显著降低碳强度。预计二氧化碳强度约为 9 千克/桶油当量，并在燃烧、加工、发电和封存等环节采用先进的减排技术，为深水油田的成本效益和低排放生产树立了新的标杆。

Equinor 勘探与生产国际执行副总裁 Philippe Mathieu 表示：“巴西是我们的核心区域，Bacalhau 将为实现 Equinor 的目标做出重要贡献，即到 2030 年，通过我们的国际投资组合创造超过 50 亿美元的自由现金流。Bacalhau 还将为巴西经济带来积极的连锁反应和长期效益，在其 30 年的生命周期内创造约 5 万个就业岗位。”

FPSO承包商MODEC将在初始阶段负责该装置的运营。此后，Equinor计划运营Bacalhau设施直至许可期结束。

With recoverable reserves exceeding 1 billion boe, Bacalhau is the largest international offshore field ever developed by Equinor.

"The safe start-up of Bacalhau marks a major milestone for Equinor. Bacalhau represents a new generation of projects that bring together scale, cost-efficiency and lower carbon intensity. With this development, we are strengthening the longevity of our oil and gas production and securing value creation for decades to come,” says Anders Opedal, President and CEO of Equinor.

Bacalhau is located in the pre-salt region of Brazil's Santos Basin in ultra-deep water exceeding 2000 m. The field features one of the most modern Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSO) in the world, measuring 370 m in length and 64 m in width, with a production capacity of 220 000 bpd.

Phase 1 development consists of 19 wells, producers and injectors, which will be brought online in sequence as we ramp up and sustain production. Equinor will be positioned to provide an update in 2026 during the ramp-up phase.

“Around 70 million hours of work have been recorded in the project with solid safety results. I would like to sincerely thank our partners, suppliers, and employees for making this achievement a reality. With its size, water depth and lower carbon intensity, Bacalhau is a testament to our engineering capabilities and ability to operate internationally,” says Geir Tungesvik, Executive Vice President, Projects, Drilling and Procurement.

The Bacalhau FPSO features combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT), a technology that significantly reduces carbon intensity. With an expected CO2 intensity of around 9 kg/boe, and advanced abatement across flaring, processing, power generation, and storage, the field sets a new benchmark for cost efficient and lower emission deepwater production.

“Brazil is a core area for us and Bacalhau will be a major contributor to Equinor’s goal of generating more than US$5 billion of free cashflow by 2030 from our international portfolio. Bacalhau will also deliver positive ripple effects and long-term benefits to Brazil´s economy, creating approximately 50 000 jobs over its 30-year lifetime,” says Philippe Mathieu, Executive Vice President for Exploration and Production International.

MODEC, the FPSO contractor, will operate the unit for the initial phase. Thereafter, Equinor plans to operate the Bacalhau facilities until end of the license period.
