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.

The definitive system of the Atlanta field will require an FPSO with a production capacity of 50,000 barrels per day. The information was disclosed by Enauta, the owner and partner in the venture with Barra Energia.
Enauta has already initiated the licensing process with Ibama as mentioned earlier for the installation of the FPSO in the deep waters of the Santos basin and promises to boost Brazilian shipbuilding. According to the company’s plans, the FPSO will be contracted in the first half of 2021 and is expected to start operations in 2022.
