Commissioning of gas compression systems on two Petrobras-owned floating production, storage and offloading units will be concluded by mid-March following delays that slowed down the production curve, writes Gareth Chetwynd.

The P-75 and P-76 FPSOs respectively achieved first oil in November 2018 and February 2019 but commissioning delays have forced Petrobras to re-inject all of the natural gas produced and hold back the overall ramp-up.
