The oil company Enauta announced on November 3, through a material fact, the notification that its partner Barra Energia of Brazil Oil and Gas will permanently exit the partnership for offshore exploration of Block BS-4, where the Atlanta Field is located in the Santos Basin.

Enauta will evaluate until November 28, 2020, whether it will assume Barra Energia’s participation in the Field or proceed with the joint abandonment.

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

Enauta stated that it has been reviewing the project to make 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 underpin the company’s decision,” stated Décio Oddone, president of Enauta, in a statement.
