In addition to the projects executed in 2022, which allowed the reclassification of reserves; the identification of new workover projects executed in the Bahia Asset; and workover and drilling executed in the Potiguar Asset, commercial improvements in oil prices and processed natural gas products are among the main justifications for changes in the reserves of both assets.
“The increase in the future oil price, along with the inclusion of new workover and drilling projects in both assets, contributed to the Company’s good results, allowing the reclassification of some 2P reserves to 1P and 3P to 2P,” explains Rafael Procaci da Cunha, CFO of PetroRecôncavo.
In the Potiguar Basin, PetroReconcavo manages 32 fields and 1 exploratory block; in the Recôncavo Basin, it operates 27 fields and 5 exploratory blocks; and in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, it operates 75% of the Tartaruga concession. The company maintains a minority stake in a concession owned and managed by an external entity.
