UK-BASED independent Trident Energy has unveiled plans to start output in the next few years from a mid-sized floating production, storage and offloading vessel aimed at redeveloping a cluster of shallow-water fields in Brazil's prolific Campos basin. The company, which is backed by US private equity player Warburg Pincus, a year ago acquired operatorship of the Pampo-En-chova complex from Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petrobras in a deal worth approximately $1 billion. According to environmental documents submitted to Brazilian regulator Ibama and obtained exclusively by Upstream, Trident is looking to deploy the soon-to-be-contracted FPSO in the Pam-po-Enchova cluster in December 2023. The area consists of the Pampo, Badejo, Linguado, Trilha, Marimba, Enchova, Bonito, Bicudo, Enchova Oeste and Pirauna mature fields that - in total - produced about 24,600 barrels per day of oil and 269,000 cubic metres per day of natural gas from the PPM-1, PCE-1 and P-8 fixed platforms in June.
