Barrel Production of Oil
Especially regarding the month of December, PetroRio states that its total production balance was 34,180 equivalent barrels of oil per day. This is equivalent to a growth of 9.4% compared to the month of November (31,235 equivalent barrels of oil daily).
PetroRio also declared that the “production from the Tubarão Martelo Field in December was impacted by the shutdown of production from the OGX-44HP well in the first days of the month due to a failure in the submerged centrifugal pump (BCS), causing a reduction in production of about 1.4 kbpd.” The Kingmaker rig is performing a workover, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of January.
