Background

Discovered in 2007, the field began production two years later in 2009. At that time, it was deemed "the Western Hemisphere's largest oil discovery in 30 years."[7]

In 2010, Petrobras renamed the field from Tupi[7] to Lula.[8] In 2020, following a citizen lawsuit, a court ordered Petrobras to rename the field from Lula back to Tupi.[8] The non-contracted portion is Tupi Leste or East Tupi. Tupi Leste belongs to the federal government and is represented by Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. or PPSA.[8]
