The new onshore oil well that is being drilled in the Parnaíba Basin, within the state of Maranhão, belongs to block PN-T-48 and has been technically named 3-ENV-11D-MA.

Eneva advanced in its exploratory campaign in Maranhão in the first quarter of this year. In the Gavião Preto field, in Parnaíba, the company completed the completion of two oil wells and also concluded the drilling of another three. Still in the same field, the company started drilling another well in the same period.

Eneva started the preliminary leasing services in well 7-GVTE-1-MA, in the Gavião Tesoura field. During the first quarter, the company's investments in upstream totaled 41 million reais

Currently, the company has nine oil fields declared commercial: five of them in production (Gavião Real, Gavião Vermelho, Gavião Branco, Gavião Caboclo and Gavião Azul) and four in development (Gavião Preto, Gavião Branco Norte, Gavião Tesoura and Gavião Carijó). .

The company also has seven Discovery Assessment Plans (PADs), seven exploratory blocks acquired in the 13th ANP Bidding Round in 2015, five blocks acquired in the 14th ANP Bidding Round in 2017, and six oil blocks acquired in the first cycle of the ANP Permanent Offer in 2019.

In 2017, Eneva reached the mark of more than 100 oil wells drilled in the Parnaíba Basin, in Maranhão, an exceptional result for a new frontier basin.

In addition to the Parnaíba Basin, in Maranhão, Eneva operates the Azulão field, in the Amazonas Basin. The natural gas produced in the field will supply the Jaguatirica II thermoelectric plant, in Roraima.
