Financial And Operational Results Highlight 22% Growth In Production
In an announcement made in Mata de São João on March 5, 2024, PetroReconcavo, a leading independent oil and gas production company in Brazil’s onshore basins, reported its operational and financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 and the annual consolidated figures. With 24 years of history, the company reported a significant 22% increase in its production, showcasing its technical competence and resilience in a challenging environment.
Impressive Operational Performance
Throughout 2023, PetroReconcavo achieved an average production of 26,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/day), reaching a peak of 29,000 boe/day in October. This performance marks a 22% annual growth, driven mainly by the Bahia Asset, which saw a 32% increase in production due to investments in well reactivation. The Potiguar Asset also recorded growth of 14%, with investments focused on hydraulic fracturing and drilling new wells. The acquisition of Maha Energy Brasil’s assets also played an important role, contributing 9% to the total production growth.
Strengthened Financials Despite Challenges
The company’s EBITDA in the fourth quarter was R$ 247 million, totaling R$ 1.3 billion for the year. Adjusting for extraordinary flow restriction, the potential EBITDA would be R$ 1.5 billion. Rafael Procaci, CFO of PetroReconcavo, highlighted the effectiveness of management even in the face of inflation, high-interest rates, and elevated exchange rates. With a cash position of R$ 507 million at the end of the year, the company is poised for new investments and opportunities in the sector after reducing acquisition payments.
