Petrobras had already communicated about the resumption of production at the Manati Field

Petrobras informed on 09/29 that gas production at the Manati Field, halted since Monday due to a leak in the land section of its export pipeline, was expected to resume by the end of last week. Enauta had already provided advance notice of the suspension in a statement released on the morning of the 28th but had not given an expected return date for activities.

Petrobras stated that it has already deployed teams for repairs and is investigating the causes of the leak. The state-owned company emphasized that there is no risk of gas supply disruption to the market. Petrobras holds a 35% stake in the Manati Field. It operates jointly with Enauta, which has a 45% share, GeoPark, with 10%, and Petro Rio Coral Oil Exploration, also with 10%.

On 09/06, the oil company Enauta announced it had suspended production at one of the wells in the Atlanta Field, located in the Santos Basin. According to the relevant fact disclosed by the company on Monday, it is evaluating the causes of the suspension. Preliminary investigations indicate a failure in the subsea pumping system. Production is expected to resume in the first quarter of 2022.

The oil company Enauta reported that the Atlanta Field is back in operation with all wells of the Early Production System, following the completion of repairs on the heaters. The company stated in a note that it plans to produce about 20,000 barrels of oil per day with three wells operating, after the stabilization period. This estimate could represent a daily production record for the company.

Additionally, activities are being carried out to improve the water treatment expansion capacity on the FPSO Petrojarl I, thereby increasing oil barrel production. The completion of the first phase forecasts a 35% increase in the treated water volume and is expected by the end of this year. The company also stated that this month, it began the bidding process for the necessary equipment and services to drill the fourth oil well, expanding the oil production capacity of the Atlanta Field.
