The Evaluation Tests Were Successful Despite Some Operational Issues at the Well Located 2052 Meters Deep

Equinor discovered a rich vein of hydrocarbons in the evaluation well at West Carcará, where the flow test was conducted last week. The rig, located in the pre-salt production sharing contract area in northern Carcará, faced some challenges. Equinor came close to losing focus after losing, and failing to retrieve, a downhole assembly, but the operator was able to perform the drill stem test as previously planned.

A formal notification of an oil discovery was issued on December 27, according to Brazilian regulatory requirements.

Additional information gathered from sources close to the operation suggests that the discovery has all the characteristics of a significant oil discovery in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin.
