Tartaruga Verde is producing from the Campos dos Goytacazes FPSO, which sits in 765 metres of water about 127 kilometres offshore Rio de Janeiro state. The vessel can accommodate an output of 150,000 bopd and 3.5 mcm (124 mcf) of gas per day, in addition to compressing 5 mcm (177 mcf) of gas per day.
