With New Acquisitions, Mergers, and Projects in the Oil and Natural Gas Sector, Enauta Is Now Seeking to Expand and Diversify Its Asset Portfolio and Stated That It Does Not Intend to Sell the Atlanta Field, Contrary to Rumors.

During last Friday (08/12), the president of Enauta, Décio Oddone, commented on the company’s future in the oil and natural gas sector and said that the company is now investing in acquiring new assets, mergers, and developing new projects to expand its portfolio in the market. Moreover, he emphasized that the rumors about the sale of the Atlanta Field in the Santos Basin are false and that this project does not exist.

Enauta’s Expansion Plan Now Seeks to Diversify Its Asset Portfolio in the Oil and Natural Gas Sector With New Acquisitions and Mergers

A videoconference with analysts and investors from Enauta was held at the end of last week, and a discussion about the company’s future in the Brazilian oil and natural gas market was opened with the company’s president.

Thus, the executive highlighted that the company’s main plan in the oil and gas sector is currently to expand the assets and make the business portfolio even more diversified, aiming to increase its presence in the Brazilian market.

In this way, the company’s business portfolio expansion initiative will be based on mergers in the oil and natural gas segment, acquiring new assets, and investing in projects that enable business growth.

The executive also stated that Enauta recognizes the lack of diversification in the Brazilian oil market at present and is now looking to address this situation with new assets, but did not provide further details regarding the ventures.

“I acknowledge that there is a need to diversify the portfolio and optimize the capital structure. I don’t like to talk about specific projects; we had some projects that did not succeed in the past, but we are working,” said Enauta’s president, Décio Oddone.

The executive added to his remarks regarding the movement of oil prices in the international market and emphasized that “I see some companies talking about negotiations; we prefer to be discreet. Oil prices have risen significantly; we have been cautious about that,” warning of the instability of business in foreign markets.

Oil Company Addresses Rumors About Possible Sale Project for the Atlanta Field to the Private Sector and States That the Initiative Does Not Exist

The sale of the Atlanta Field, one of Enauta’s largest assets in the Santos Basin, has been discussed in the national oil and gas sector in recent months, but the company denied that there is a project for the concession of all or part of its stake in the asset.

The executive stated that the company is aware of the production potential of the Atlanta Field and intends to leverage it to enhance its presence in the national fuel market.

In addition, he recalled that the location in the Santos Basin has the total production return scheduled for September, after a planned shutdown. The Atlanta Field has received investments to extend the operational life of the production unit in the area, increase the water treatment capacity, as well as perform regular inspections and is currently undergoing the gradual resumption process of oil production.

Finally, Enauta’s CFO, Paula Costa, reminded that the company is also expected to have greater production capacity and cash generation starting in 2024, with the commissioning of the definitive system of the Atlanta Field, thus ensuring an even greater perspective for future growth.
