The New Eneva Thermoelectric Plant Will Be Built Near Azulão, Where the Company Will Drill New Gas Extraction Wells

On the last 6th, in a news article published by Valor Econômico, Eneva will build a thermoelectric plant in the interior of the state of Amazonas. The company buying the Azulão natural gas exploration field, in Silves, Amazonas, expects 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 Azulão, where Eneva will drill new gas extraction wells.

Other Eneva Projects

According to the company’s operations director, Lino Cançado says, “We have been working on other projects on land and also with gas from LNG and the pre-salt. We have the capability to bring projects to fruition, conduct basic engineering, market studies, participate in auctions, and implementation and operation and maintenance (O&M). It is only natural that we have the ambition to participate in this.”

In Parnaíba, where the company has installed capacity for generating 1.4 GW, Cançado stated his intention to renew the contracts of the 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 yet to start. The contract, however, provides for activities until 2029 for the minimum exploratory program in the region.

Thus, Cançado emphasized that the company is not rushing in the regions of Juruá, in the Solimões Basin. In this location, the primary objective is to define a solution for gas monetization.

Recently, the Company Signed a Contract with Constellation to Drill Seven Wells in the Azulão Field, Located in the Amazonas Basin

On July 23rd, Eneva, the national leader in energy generation, production, and exploration of natural gas, signed a contract with Constellation Oil Services for the drilling of seven wells in the Azulão field, located in the Amazonas Basin. The deal between the two companies was finalized, and operations are set to begin by September 15th.

The Constellation rig contracted for Eneva’s campaign, which is expected to last up to 290 days, is the QG VIII, capable of drilling wells up to 4,500 meters deep. The rig is equipped with a full VFD control system and has 1600 HP of hoisting power, increasing operation efficiency. The QG VIII has previously operated for Eneva in the same field, successfully drilling three wells in 2019. The current contract demonstrates the continuation of a successful partnership in the region. Constellation currently has nine onshore and eight offshore drilling rigs.

Petrobras reported in a significant fact that it received binding proposals and initiated negotiation phases with the energy leader in Brazil, Eneva, for the sale of its entire stake in a set of seven onshore oil fields, known as the Urucu Polo, located in the Solimões Basin, in the state of Amazonas.

According to Petrobras’s report, “the signing of the sale contracts is subject to the success of negotiations, which involve commercial and contractual aspects of the transaction to be approved by the decision-making bodies of both parties.”
