Atlanta Field Will Be Operated by National “Non-State” Oil Company in Post-Salt, Signaling Good Expectations for the Market and Showing That Other Companies in Brazil Also Have Offshore Capacity

[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Queiroz Galvão Exploração e Produção (QGEP) indicated its intention to produce oil on its own starting at the beginning of next year in water depths of up to 1500 meters (deep water), already in the first quarter in the Campos Basin. According to Lincoln Guardado, who is the director of QGEP, the productions did not happen earlier because Teekay Offshore took a long time to assemble the chartered FPSO.

The executive assured that the Lava Jato investigation did not harm the progress of the project, as QGEP is also involved in the scandal. The company also operates the block in partnership with OGX, which has recently emerged from judicial recovery, and Barra Energia.

Guardado said that the investment in the Atlanta Field is around US$820 million for production development. As the current economic environment has not reached this part of the venture, the company felt comfortable proceeding with the production of this asset.

QGEP expects to drill 3 oil wells in the block and produce about 30,000 barrels per day by March 2018. These operations are necessary to honor the debt of R$60 million that it has with OGX, as it invested this initial amount.

Do You Want to Send Your Resume to QGEP?

There are currently no official selection processes from the company, but on the oil company’s website, under the WORK WITH US tab, it provides a contact email for anyone wishing to submit a resume for future mass hiring when drilling starts in full swing. The contact is rh@qgep.com.br, please include in the subject line name-profession-years of experience-city of residence. Source: O Globo
