The topside modules lifting campaign has finished, and integration and commissioning activities are progressing. The completed platform should produce first oil from the Búzios Field in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil next year.

As for other FPSOs under construction, topside modules lifting is nearing completion for the Alexandre de Gusmão for the Mero Field in the Santos Basin—again, first oil is expected in 2025. Topside fabrication is advancing for the FPSO ONE GUYANA, which is due to deliver first oil next year from the Yellowtail Field.
