5H is the oil company's fourth well in the Atlanta Field region, and is already going through the ramp-up phase. Enauta has been investing heavily in expanding its production capacity in the Santos Basin in recent months.

Aiming at maximum production capacity for the coming months, Enauta has one more well in operation in the Alanta Field. Named 5H, the well is the oil company's fourth in the Santos Basin area, one of the main bets for the year 2023. The company is now awaiting completion of the ramp-up phase in the structure.

After a successful drilling campaign, Enauta announces the start of oil production at the fourth well in the Atlanta Field, 5H

Enauta, exploration and production company of oil and gas, announced the start of production from the fourth well in the Atlanta field, located in the Santos Basin.

The well, called 7-ATL-5H-RJS (also called 5H), is considered strategic for the company and should contribute significantly to increasing oil production in the region.

It is currently connected to FPSO Petrojarl I, which will contribute to expanding the company's production capacity in the Brazilian oil and gas industry.

Currently, the structure is in the ramp-up phase, but it should pass this stage of production by next weekend, as highlighted by Enauta in its statement.

The arrival of well 5H to the company's daily production was essential for a productive leap, as the oil company reached a capacity of 16,1 thousand barrels per day in the Santos Basin area.

Enauta has continuously invested in oil exploration and production in the Santos Basin, considered one of the most important areas in the sector in Brazil.

The company is the operator of the Atlanta field, which is located off the coast of Santos, and has interests in other projects in the region.

In addition, Enauta has a strong commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

The company invests in environmental preservation and community development programs in the areas where it operates, contributing to the economic and social growth of the regions where it operates.

The company concentrated its efforts on starting the operation of the 5H well in the Atlanta Field to maximize the area's daily production

The current production of Enauta's 5H well in the Atlanta Field is 9,7 barrels per day, an expressive number for the company's operations in the area.

According to the oil company, it has invested its efforts to put the site into operation, aiming at a jump in the daily capacity of exploring the fuel.

Thus, the installation of the new pump in the 7-ATL-2HP-RJS well is already scheduled for the month of April this year. This is because it announced in early March that it had temporarily stopped production from the well.

The company's inspection activities found some flaws in the surface equipment (topside), and it is now working to solve them.

Despite the situation, the start of production at Enauta's 5H well in the Atlanta Field was an important step for the Santos Basin campaign.
