Enauta Participações SA (Enauta) has let a contract to Serviços de Petróleo Constellation SA for the Alpha Star ultradeep semisubmersible rig to drill the fourth well in the Atlanta field Early Production System, Block BS-4, about 185 km southeast of Rio de Janeiro in Santos basin.

Drilling is expected to start in fourth quarter 2022 and should take about 60 days. The contract can be renewed for another 150 days for drilling two additional producing wells and transferring lines from the Petrojarl I FPSO to the OSX-2 floater when it arrives, subject to Enauta board approval. The one well contract value is about $23 million.

Enauta is currently producing about 13,000 b/d in Atlanta from three wells linked to the Petrojarl I. Estimated 2P reserves are 103 million bbl with 1.29 billion bbl in situ oil volume.

Atlanta is operated by Enauta Energia SA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enauta, which holds 100% working interest in the asset.
