Other projects in the Potiguar Basin
A 3R Petroleum plans to invest US$ 200 million over the life cycle of the fields at Polo Macau – a set of assets purchased from Petrobras also in the Potiguar Basin, Rio Grande do Norte.
In a live interview with epbr, the CEO Ricardo Savini, explained that the pandemic forced the company to postpone investment plans to 2021, but the improvement in the market could allow work to start in the second half of this year.
The current plan foresees the drilling of 46 wells, 31 workover services in existing wells and the construction of infrastructure for oil separation and processing and water injection. Savini explains that there is a 5-year window for more intense investments in the fields.
In the first two years of operation, the oil will be sold to Petrobras, in a contract signed with the purchase of assets. Polo Macau encompasses the fields of Aratum, Serra, Salina Cristal, Lagoa Aroeira, Porto Carão, Sanhaçu and Macau itself.
