The Marlim Project consists of a subsea separation system designed to separate water from oil, gas and sediments and re-injects the separated water into the water reservoir. The oil, gas and sediments are then routed to the host platform topside. Marlim is located in the north-eastern part of Campos Basin, about 110km offshore Rio de Janeiro, in water depths ranging from 650m to 1,050m. It has some 102 production wells and 50 injection wells. Over 80km of rigid pipelines and 400km of flexible lines have been laid on the field. The refinery has reported an average production of 353,027 bpd for 2007. P26 floating production system transformed at the Astileros shipyard in Cadiz, Spain.
