The Natural Gas Produced by Eneva in the Azulão Field, Located in the Amazon Basin, Will Be Used for Power Generation by the Jaguatirica II Thermoelectric Plant

Today, Monday (09/27), Eneva began the commercial production of the Azulão field, located in the Amazon Basin. It is the first project to start operations in the region, after 20 years since its discovery. According to the epbr website, the natural gas produced by Eneva in the Azulão field, located in the Amazon Basin, will be used for power generation by the Jaguatirica II thermoelectric plant (UTE).

The Azulão Field in the Amazon Basin

Eneva purchased the Azulão field from Petrobras in November 2017 for US$ 54.5 million. The area was discovered in 1999 and declared commercial in 2004, but until its sale, 13 years later, it was not put into operation by the state-owned company, which studied various production models for the project.

The Amazon is a major producer of oil and natural gas on land, but in the Solimões Basin, where there is infrastructure for the movement and processing of oil and gas, and outflow to Manaus.

The gas produced in Azulão will be used for power generation by the Jaguatirica II thermoelectric plant (UTE), with a capacity of 117 MW, contracted in the first auction to serve isolated systems held in 2019. The gas will be liquefied and transported by trucks to Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima.

The energy will serve Roraima, where the plant is located, the only state in the country still disconnected from the National Interconnected System (SIN) of energy transmission. It therefore depends on local generation. In total, Eneva’s investment forecast is R$ 1.8 billion.

In a news report published by Valor Econômico, Eneva will build a thermoelectric plant in the interior of the state of Amazonas. The company that purchased the Azulão field for natural gas exploration in Silves, in the state of Amazonas, foresees an investment of R$ 100 to R$ 120 million, and the construction of the new plant is expected to be completed by next year. As a result, the thermoelectric plant will be built near the Azulão field in the Amazon Basin, where Eneva will drill new gas extraction wells.

According to Eneva’s Operations Director Lino Cançado, “We have been working on other projects on land, as well as with gas from LNG and the pre-salt. We have the expertise to get projects off the ground, do basic engineering, market studies, participate in auctions, and carry out operation and maintenance (O&M). It is only natural that we have the ambition to participate in this.”

Already in Parnaíba, where Eneva has installed capacity for generating 1.4 GW, Cançado stated that he intends to renew contracts for thermoelectric plants. On the other hand, he explained that no new investments will be made in the region. In the Paraná Basin, where the company acquired four blocks in 2020, operations have not yet been scheduled to begin. However, the contract provides for activities until 2029 for the minimum exploratory program in the region.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
