Azevedo & Travassos Energia Announces Discovery of a New Oil-Producing Zone in the Andorinha Field, in the Potiguar Basin. The Stabilized Flow of 42 Barrels per Day Opens New Opportunities for Growth and Valuation for the Shares AZTE3.

A Azevedo & Travassos Energia revealed a significant update for the oil and gas sector this Wednesday, 09/17. The company confirmed the existence of a new oil-producing zone in the Andorinha Field, located in the Potiguar Basin, in Rio Grande do Norte. The discovery occurred after the successful completion of the well completion and evaluation operation of extension well 3-AND5-RN.

The results were encouraging: a stabilized flow of 42 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d) in the Açu-3 Formation, situated between 853 and 858 meters deep. This is the first time that a well in the region has recorded production in this range, reinforcing the significance of the find.

Oil Quality and Formation Characteristics

According to the company, the identified oil has an API gravity of 22, considered to be of good quality with suitable viscosity characteristics. This increases the economic utilization potential of the resource. Additionally, the discovery signals that other areas in the Potiguar Basin may present similar opportunities, encouraging new drilling and analyses.

A Azevedo & Travassos Energia highlighted that reservoir engineering and geology studies are being intensified. The goal is to assess the true extent of the producing zone and calculate the recoverable volumes.

Meanwhile, the company has initiated the construction of surface facilities that will allow for a long-term production test. This stage will be essential for gathering additional information on the oil accumulation and confirming the feasibility of larger-scale exploration.

Impact of the News on the Financial Market

The announcement was received positively by the capital market. The shares AZTE3 registered strong movement in the Wednesday trading session (09/17), reflecting investor confidence in the company’s future. Although the stock price numbers for the day may vary, the perception is that the discovery enhances the company’s growth capacity in the energy sector.

Focusing on onshore oil and gas exploration and production, Azevedo & Travassos Energia is part of the Azevedo & Travassos group, which is traditional in the engineering and infrastructure sector in Brazil. The company has been consolidating its presence in the Potiguar Basin and is betting on onshore assets as a growth strategy.

This new front in the Andorinha Field reinforces the company’s strategy of diversification and strengthening in the energy sector. For investors and specialists, it is a milestone that can boost future results and expand the company’s reserves.
