Atlanta entered production 17 years after the drilling of the first exploratory well, conducted in February 2001. It was declared commercial in December 2006, while still operated by Shell. Enauta, then QGEP, purchased the Anglo-Dutch company’s stake in August 2011. A month later, Barra Energia announced that it had acquired Chevron’s 20% stake and the remaining 10% from Shell in the project.

Enauta claims that, after receiving approval from ANP, Barra Energia will transfer to it US$ 43.9 million related to the abandonment operations of the three wells and decommissioning of the existing facilities in the field.
