Wedoany.com Report-Apr. 16, Brava Energia, a Brazilian energy company formed from the merger of 3R Petroleum and Enauta, has activated two additional wells, 4H and 5H, at the Atlanta field in the Santos Basin, off Brazil’s coast. These wells, connected to the FPSO Atlanta, a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel, are currently in the testing and stabilization phase.
The FPSO Atlanta, which began producing oil through the Atlanta Definitive Production System earlier this year, now operates with four wells: 4H, 5H, 6H, and 7H. Previously, wells 4H and 5H were part of an early production system using the FPSO Petrojarl I at the same field in block BS-4. Brava Energia plans to connect two additional wells, 2H and 3H, with completion scheduled for June 2025. This will enable the FPSO Atlanta to operate with six wells, with a long-term goal of reaching ten wells by 2029.
The FPSO Atlanta, chartered and operated by Malaysia’s Yinson Production, has a production capacity of 50,000 barrels of oil per day, can treat 140,000 barrels of water daily, and store up to 1.6 million barrels of oil. The vessel is contracted to remain at the Atlanta field for 15 years, with an option for Brava Energia to extend its operation by an additional five years.
A Brava Energia representative stated: “Connecting wells 4H and 5H to the FPSO Atlanta is a key step in optimizing production at the Atlanta field, supporting our commitment to efficient and sustainable energy development.” The company has also secured an agreement with Trafigura for the sale of oil produced from the field, enhancing its operational strategy.
The expansion of the Atlanta field underscores Brava Energia’s focus on increasing production capacity while leveraging advanced offshore technology. The FPSO Atlanta’s role in processing and storing oil supports Brazil’s growing energy sector, contributing to the country’s position as a key player in global oil production.
This development reflects Brava Energia’s strategic efforts to enhance the Atlanta field’s output through phased well connections. The project’s progress, combined with long-term operational plans, positions the company to meet rising energy demands while maintaining a focus on operational efficiency and sustainability.
