The company PetroRio has taken another step forward in advancing its revitalization program for production in the Frade Field, in the Basin of Campos, and announced that it has begun oil production at the second well in the area, the 7-FR-55H-RJS (also called MUP3A). This new phase of the plan will not only enable an expansion of productive resumption in the area, but also a growth of the company in the national oil and gas sector.

In addition, PetroRio announced more details about the oil production campaign in the Frade Field and stated that the 7-FR-55H-RJS well will have an initial average extraction of approximately 3,500 barrels of oil per day over the first week.

Following the start of oil production at the most recent well drilled by PetroRio in the Frade Field, the next step in the revitalization plan for the region is already being executed through the Norbe VI rig from Ocyan, and it will be the drilling of the first injector well within the scope of revitalizing the area. This structure aims to enhance or improve the recovery of natural gas or oil from a reservoir, so that a fluid such as water and gas can be injected.

It is worth noting that PetroRio had already announced good results in the revitalization plan for the Frade Field over the past months, with the drilling of the first well in the region, the ODP4, which ensured the company a stabilized initial production of approximately 15,000 barrels of oil per day. The company managed to expand its production capacity by 45%, totaling 48,500 barrels of oil per day.

The revitalization plan for the Frade Field continues in full swing and is expected to receive new multi-million dollar investments for its continuation, as in February of this year, PetroRio’s CEO, Roberto Monteiro, stated that the drilling works for wells in the Frade Field would receive around US$ 210 million in investments.
