Enauta’s oil production

Enauta released the summary of its operating results for May 2024. The Brazilian oil company produced 504 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in the previous month, with an average of 16.3 thousand barrels per day.

The numbers represent a drop compared to the previous month when the company produced 600,000 boe, with an average of 20,000 barrels per day. This drop is due to a five-day break for maintenance of the FPSO Petrojarl which works in the Atlanta field, in the Santos Basin. Natural gas production for May was not disclosed by Enauta.

All this data refers to the Atlanta field, the company’s main asset. It also owns 45% of the Manati field, which is stopped for system adjustments, with the return of production scheduled for the end of June.
