With the signature duly published in the Official Gazette of the Union (https://www.in.gov.br/web/dou/-/extratos-de-contratos-572483062), the company concludes the final stage of the process, being ready to start its operations as the newest member of the oil sector in the country.
The Innovative Trajectory of the Mining Oil Company
Living intensely the first year of its journey, Elysian Petroleum celebrates another major victory by proving its financial and technical conditions to operate in the sector. The company, founded in 2023 by mining entrepreneur Ernani Machado, acquired 122 onshore blocks distributed across the Potiguar, Sergipe-Alagoas, and Espírito Santo basins in December of last year.
For Ernani Machado, an entrepreneur also ahead of JMM Tech, despite being ‘a new player’, Elysian Brasil Exploration and Production of Oil and Natural Gas Ltda. stands out for a level of confidence already consolidated and for strict compliance with ANP regulations.
Investments and Guarantees at Elysian Petroleum
Before the signing of the contracts in May 2024, payment guarantees were presented, and payments of R$6.222 million were made regarding the bonus necessary for the officialization of operations. Machado highlights: ‘We have proven that we are a new and reliable company, which will operate with a sustainable and technological model, aiming to be as non-aggressive as possible to the environment. We will use innovative technologies to reduce costs and optimize work execution.’
To support the development of these technologies, Elysian Petroleum is preparing to launch, in the coming weeks, a research center focused on oil and gas, located in Belo Horizonte, MG.
Investment in Sustainable Research and Development
With plans to invest R$400 million in onshore oil exploration in Brazil, Elysian Petroleum has in sight the conduct of on-site surveys of the acquired blocks in the second half of 2024. Depending on the success of these initial analyses, the company expects to start exploration of selected areas within this year.
For 2025, Ernani Machado has clear goals: to ensure that operations are fully underway aiming to achieve a minimum daily production of 5,000 barrels over the years. The signed concession contracts have a duration of 27 years, but there is a possibility of extension.
