The complete paper presents a multidisciplinary view of the evolution of the concept of a development project for the central area of the Sururu reservoir and the method applied to address challenges and propose solutions. The central area presents distinct characteristics from typical Brazilian presalt fields, with low permeabilities despite high porosity.

Sururu Reservoir

The reservoir is in the Santos Basin 230 km offshore Rio de Janeiro at water depths ranging from 2000 to 2300 m. The wildcat in the reservoir, 1-BRSA-618-RJS (1-RJS-656), is in the central area of the field, which is the main subject of the present work. The well exhibited reasonably high average porosity while presenting low permeabilities and low productivity when compared with other presalt wells.
