Bacalhau is Equinor’s largest offshore field outside Norway, with production capacity of more than 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe). The field is on stream since October 2025, producing energy efficiently, safely and with reduced emissions.
The Bacalhau field is located in the Santos Basin in two licenses: BM-S-8 and Norte de Carcará.
The asset has a high-quality carbonate reservoir containing light oil. Equinor acquired the operatorship in 2016.
Bacalhau is the first asset in the Brazilian pre-salt area to be entirely developed by an international operator and where Equinor uses its global competence and local expertise to generate value with reduced emissions.
