BW Offshore has been awarded a 120-day extension by Petrobras for FPSO BW Cidade de São Vicente, taking the contract through to October 9.

BW says it has commenced planning for demobilisation of the vessel from the field and is considering a temporary layup in Brazil.

The FPSO unit has been on contract to Petrobras since 2009 and has been utilised as a well test facility offshore Brazil.
