Lapa oil field

Brazilian offshore oil field

The Lapa oil field is a deepwater oil field in the pre-salt Guaratiba Group of the South Atlantic Santos Basin, 270 kilometres (170 mi) off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. The field lies in water depths of approximately 2,140 metres (7,020 ft). When the discovery of the field was initially reported, it caused widespread commotion because of the speculated size of the field, which surpassed the Mexican Cantarell Complex, the biggest oil field complex outside of the Middle East. The size of Lapa, then known as Carioca and later as Sugar Loaf, was announced as possibly "as large as 33 billion barrels [5.2 billion cubic metres]". Later appraisal of the field drastically reduced the reserves to the current estimate of 459 million barrels.
