Catcher Varadero Burgman
• Catcher is the initial field on production due to it’s ability to produce oil in a stable fashion for the first stages
of the FPSO plant commissioning
• Each field will be brought on in the following manner
– Well clean up (initial clean up restricted by rig surface equipment)
– Well test through the subsea multi-phase meters
– Restricted rate to manage gas rates through commissioning period
• Following gas train commissioning completion and the introduction of Burgman fluids the plant will be run at
60 kbopd
