The unit — which is expected to process 180,000 barrels per 
day of oil and 2 million cubic 
metres per day of natural gas — will handle a split of pre-salt 
light oil and heavy oil from the field.

The P-57 was originally scheduled to go on stream in August 2011. However, Petrobras has 
already finished the drilling 
and completion of horizontal 
producing wells 7-JUB-9HP-ESS and 7-JUB-13HP-ESS in order 
to have the floater ready by 
December.
