Parque das Conchas (BC-10) - an overview
Parque das Conchas (BC-10) off the coast of Brazil uses innovative technology to safely and efficiently unlock energy resources in deep water.
Parque das Conchas
The Parque das Conchas fields lie in ultra-deep water off Brazil, where a constant swell, shifting sands and near-freezing seabed temperatures pose huge technical challenges. Several technology firsts helped to bring the fields on stream.
Inside parque das conchas
Tapping into deep-water reservoirs
Breakthrough technology makes production possible at Parque das Conchas, one of our most challenging deep-water projects.
Fostering new skills
Parque das Conchas is our first exploration-to-production project in Brazil. We have trained, and provided career opportunities for, Brazilian engineers throughout its development.
Forging local partnerships
Building knowledge of local marine life and the fishing industry is vital to producing oil and gas responsibly in waters off Brazil.
Deep-water momentum at its best
Watch how engineers used innovative technology to deliver new energy supplies from nearly 1,800 metres below the seas off Brazil.
Giving entrepreneurs a flying start
We are helping a new generation of entrepreneurs in Brazil turn their ideas into businesses and their dreams into reality.
