BW Energy plans to begin development-phase drilling at the Maromba field in 2027, with the initial campaign covering six production wells, according to an investor presentation released by the company.

Located in the Campos basin, the Maromba field is scheduled to reach first production in H2 2027. The project has been structured as a phased development, with early facilities and subsea systems designed to accommodate additional drilling at a later stage.

Under the current development concept, infrastructure will be sized to support a second phase that could expand the well count beyond the initial campaign. In total, the field concept allows for up to 12 production wells and three injector wells, subject to further regulatory approvals and execution progress.

The field is to be developed using a redeployed FPSO combined with a converted wellhead platform. BW Energy has positioned this approach as a way to manage capital expenditure while reducing development and execution risk during the early production phase.
