Eneva estimates that the average volume is initially 6.78 billion cubic meters of natural gas. This is the tenth field to be declared commercial by the company in the Parnaíba Basin (MA).

According to Lino Cançado, Director of Operations at Eneva, “This is an extremely important discovery with the potential to be the second largest field in the Parnaíba Basin since activities began in 2009. In just over a year, with the acquisition of the area in the Permanent Offering in 2019, we initiated the Discovery Evaluation and now declare Commerciality, which highlights the technical capacity of the Eneva team.”

For the executive, “a discovery of this quality in the Cabeças Formation opens new perspectives for the seven other blocks of Eneva in the central-southern portion of the Basin.”

The National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) has already been informed by Eneva about the commerciality of the field and has also requested the agency’s approval to name the gas accumulation as Gavião Belo Field. The company has up to 180 days to present the Field Development Plan to the ANP.
