摘要

Last month, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) provided the final approval necessary for Petro-bras America, Inc., Houston, Tex., to begin oil and natural gas production at its Chinook-Cascade project using what will be the first Floating Production Storage Offloading (FPSO) facility ever used in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Petrobras has extensive experience using FPSOs in the Brazilian deepwater and pre-salt offshore market.
