Focused on deep waters, the oil company is divesting one of its only two operational assets – the natural gas field of Manati, in Bahia – and is open to opportunities in shallow waters and onshore areas, aside from its more traditional investments in deep waters, Oddone stated.
“The mission now is to restore the portfolio,” said Oddone, who took command of Enauta after serving for four years as the director-general of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).

“The mission now is to restore the portfolio”, said Oddone, who took command of Enauta after serving for four years as the director-general of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
The mature fields put on the market as oil giants adjust to a lower commodity price environment brought by the coronavirus pandemic create opportunities for a debt-free producer with high liquidity, Oddone said, adding that the company prefers assets it can operate.
Investments Of Enauta
Enauta produced 15,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter, including natural gas production from its stake in the Manati field, sold to Gas Bridge in August for 560 million reais.
The majority of Enauta’s production comes from the Atlanta field, located in deep waters off the Brazilian coast. Plans to hire a new platform for Atlanta, initially scheduled for August, were postponed due to the fall in international oil prices and currently have no defined date.
