Enauta Informed That It Interrupted Production at One of its Wells in the Atlanta Field Located in the Santos Basin Last Sunday

Last Sunday (09/06), Enauta informed that it has interrupted production at one of the wells in the Atlanta Field, located in the Santos Basin. According to the material fact disclosed by the company on Monday, it is evaluating the causes of the interruption. Preliminary investigations indicate a failure in the subsea pumping system. Production is expected to resume in the first quarter of 2022.

Previously, Enauta Had Disclosed Plans to Produce About 20,000 Barrels of Oil Daily

On Wednesday (08/25), Enauta informed that the Atlanta Field resumed operation with all wells in the Early Production System, after the completion of heater repairs. The company stated in a note that it plans to produce about 20,000 barrels of oil per day with the three operating wells, following the stabilization period. The estimate could set a new daily production record for the company.

Additionally, activities are being conducted to improve the capacity for water treatment on the FPSO Petrojarl I, thereby increasing the production of barrels of oil. The completion of the first phase projects a 35% increase in the volume of treated water and is expected by the end of this year. The company also stated that, this month, it initiated the bidding process for the equipment and services needed for the drilling of the fourth oil well, expanding the capacity to produce barrels of oil from the Atlanta Field.

The Company Resumes Oil Well Operations

In June, according to Enauta, ANP approved the company to take over 100% of the Atlanta Field, with the mission of doubling the company’s oil barrel production.

According to Enauta’s CEO, Décio Oddone, the definitive transfer of the Atlanta Field represented a significant step for the company to expand its cash generation. In July, the company experienced issues with two oil wells. A week later, in a material fact, the company announced that one of the producing wells in the Atlanta Field, which had a pumping failure, resumed operations, bringing the Field back to two operational wells.

According to the oil company, at that time, oil barrel production returned to a level higher than observed before the shutdown, at around 17,000 to 18,000 barrels of oil per day.

Enauta informed in a material fact that it signed the concession contracts for the oil and gas blocks won in the 2nd Cycle of the ANP’s Permanent Offering, held on December 4, 2020. The company acquired a 30% interest in four onshore blocks PAR-T-86, PAR-T-99, PAR-T-196, and PAR-T-215, in the Paraná Basin, in partnership with Eneva.

The acquisition of these four onshore oil blocks marks Enauta’s entry into the Paraná Basin, considered a frontier area due to the low level of exploratory activities already conducted in the region, allowing the oil company to be well-positioned to capture new business opportunities. “Enauta seized this opportunity to diversify its asset base,” the company stated.

According to the statement, Enauta plans to invest around R$ 15 million in exploratory activities. The onshore oil blocks are located in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás, covering approximately 11,544 km2, an area larger than that of the entire traditional Recôncavo Basin in Bahia.
