A potential joint return of the Field would not happen immediately. The Early Production System would continue operating as long as it was economically viable.

The definitive abandonment by Enauta would only occur after the necessary procedures were completed with the competent authorities.
Enauta stated that it has been reviewing the project with the goal of making it more robust and resilient to new oil price scenarios, generating greater value for shareholders. “With Barra Energia’s notification, this study will be accelerated and will support the company’s decision,” said Décio Oddone, president of Enauta, in a statement.
The Brazilian oil company operates the Atlanta Field with a 50% stake, the same percentage held by Barra Energia. Enauta is one of the main privately controlled companies in the exploration and production sector in Brazil.
Enauta has two producing assets: the Manati Field, one of the main gas suppliers in the Northeast region, in which it holds a 45% stake, and the Atlanta Field, located in the deep waters of the Santos Basin.
In 2019, Atlanta had an average monthly production of 19,000 barrels of oil per day (kbopd), considering the three producing wells equipped with subsea Christmas trees and submersible centrifugal pumps, according to Enauta’s information.
