Enauta restricts production from Atlanta field
Enauta Participações SA temporarily halted production from the 7-ATL-2HP-RJS well in Atlanta field in Santos basin, Block BS-4, about 185 km southeast of Rio de Janeiro.
Preliminary assessments indicate failure in the surface equipment (topside). A spare pump is available in case it requires replacing, the company said in a release Mar. 3.
Enauta began a three-well drilling campaign late 2022. The first well is expected to begin producing to the Petrojarl I FPSO in April 2023, increasing field production to more than 20,000 b/d of oil from the current 7,000 bo/d.
Last year, Enauta acquired the FPSO Atlanta (formally FPSO OSX-2) for Atlanta’s Full Development System (FDS). The FDS is expected to be online by mid-2024 with production from six wells, increasing to 10 wells by 2029.
Atlanta field, operated by Enauta Energia SA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enauta (100%), lies in 1,500 m of water and has estimated reserves of 106 million bbl.
