The Asset
Shell acquired the southern block of Gato do Mato in partnership with the French company Total in the second production sharing round of the ANP in 2017, having paid a bonus of R$ 100 million.
The development project for the production of the assets provides for the installation of an FPSO with a capacity to produce 90,000 bopd and compress 8.5 million m³/d of natural gas, with the first oil expected from the third quarter of 2023.
With this discovery by Shell, the number of wells with indications of oil and/or natural gas in the country in 2019 reaches thirteen; the other discoveries were in two production sharing areas: Peroba, operated by Petrobras, and North of Carcará by Equinor.
