In just over a year, with the acquisition of the area in the Permanent Offer in 2019, we started the Discovery Assessment and now we declare Commerciality, which highlights the technical capacity of the Eneva team”.

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

The National Oil and Natural Gas Agency (ANP) has already been informed by Eneva about the commerciality of the field and has also asked the agency for approval to name the gas accumulation Campo de Gavião Belo. The company has up to 180 days to present the Field Development Plan to the ANP
