据OFFSHORE ENERGY 5月20日报道，巴西石油和天然气公司Enauta已获准延长巴西近海油田的特许权协议，使其能够实施其开发计划，以提高该油田的产量并增加碳氢化合物储量。

Enauta周四透露，美国国家石油、天然气和燃料局 (ANP) 批准了其新的开发计划以及将亚特兰大油田特许权协议延长11年的合同。

由于此次延期，此前有效期至2033年的特许权期限已延长至2044年。批准取决于Enauta提出的活动计划。该计划预计以2022年2月获得批准的全开发系统 (FDS)进行推进。该计划启动预计到2024年年中，最初有6口井，到2029年达到10口井。该项目日产油5万桶，水处理能力14万桶。

Enauta首席执行官Oddone在评论延期时表示：“新开发计划的批准和合同延期允许大幅增加该领域的石油产量，因为2P储量可能会大幅增长。”

亚特兰大油田2021年12月31日的储量证明报告声明显示，2P储量为1.056亿桶，2C资源为3190万桶，可根据合同延期。

根据Enauta的决定，这些数量将被提升到储量级别，这将是新的评估和认证的目的，因为公司技术部门的评估表明，2P储量将增加35%以上，这取决于未来的独立认证。

亚特兰大油田位于桑托斯盆地，由Enauta的全资子公司Enauta Energia经营，该公司也拥有该资产100%的权益。该油田自2018年以来一直通过早期生产系统(EPS) 进行生产——包括与FPSO Petrojarl I相连的三口井。

值得一提的是， Enauta于2022年1月与Altera签署协议 ，将该FPSO的租用、运营和维护期限再延长两年。同月，该公司签订了购买FPSO OSX-2用于亚特兰大油田最终系统(DS) 的协议，该购买交易于2月完成。

此外，该公司还与马来西亚云升公司签署了一份固定合同，将FPSO的现有生产单元转换为亚特兰大的全油田开发系统，其条款与2021年12月的意向书 (LoI)中规定的相同。

根据其于2021年4月披露的为亚特兰大油田开发寻找新合作伙伴的战略，Enauta证实正在与澳大利亚的Karoon Energy就出售其在该油田的部分权益进行谈判。

由于Enauta本周早些时候停止了该油田的一口井的生产，以对生产线进行小修，该油田的产量目前有限，而且还没有达到满负荷。

Enauta expects to boost oil output from Brazilian field following term extension

Brazilian oil and gas company Enauta has been granted an extension of the concession agreement for a field located offshore Brazil, enabling it to put its development plan into motion in a bid to ramp up output from the field and increase hydrocarbon reserves.

Enauta revealed on Thursday that the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Fuel (ANP) approved its new development plan and the contractual extension of the Atlanta field’s concession agreement for 11 years.

Thanks to this extension, the concession term, previously valid until 2033, was extended to 2044. The approval is subject to the activities plan proposed by Enauta. This plan foresees the entry of the Full Development System (FDS), which was approved in February 2022. The startup is expected by mid-2024, originally with six wells, reaching ten wells in 2029. This project has the capacity to produce 50,000 barrels of oil and process 140,000 barrels of water per day. 

Commenting on the extension, Oddone, Enauta’s CEO, remarked: “The approval of the new development plan and the contractual extension allow to substantially increase the volume of oil to be produced in the field, as 2P reserves may grow substantially.”

The Atlanta field’s Reserves Certification Report statement dated 31 December 2021, indicated 2P reserves of 105.6 million barrels, and the 2C contingent resources of 31.9 million barrels, which are subject to referred contractual extension.

According to Enauta, these volumes are candidates to be promoted to the reserves class, which will be the purpose of a new evaluation and certification, as an assessment by the company’s technical department indicates that the 2P reserves will increase by more than 35 per cent, subject to future independent certification.

Located in the Santos Basin, the Atlanta field is operated by Enauta Energia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enauta, which also has a 100 per cent interest in this asset. The field has been producing since 2018 through an Early Production System (EPS) – comprising three wells connected to the FPSO Petrojarl I.

As a reminder, Enauta signed agreements with Altera in January 2022 to extend the charter, operation, and maintenance of this FPSO for an additional duration of up to two years. During the same month, the firm entered into an agreement for the purchase of FPSO OSX-2 for the Definitive System (DS) of the Atlanta field, and this purchase deal was closed in February.

In addition, the company also inked a firm contract with Malaysia’s Yinson for the conversion of an existing production unit for the FPSO to be used for Atlanta’s Full Field Development System, under the same terms as specified within the Letter of Intent (LoI) from December 2021.

In line with its strategy – disclosed in April 2021 – to find new partners for the development of the Atlanta field, Enauta confirmed it was engaged in talks with Australia’s Karoon Energy for the partial sale of its interest in the field.

The field’s output is currently limited and not at its full capacity as Enauta stopped production from one of the wells at the field earlier this week to carry out minor repairs in the production line.
