Regulatory News:
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces an oil
discovery by the Pedunculo well, located in the north-west of the
Sépia oil field, approximately 250 km off the coast of Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
This discovery lies within the Sépia Coparticipated Area, which
covers the Sépia Transfer of Rights (ToR) contract (Petrobras,
100%) and the Sepia ToR Surplus Production Sharing Contract awarded
in December 2021 to Petrobras (30%), TotalEnergies (28%),
QatarEnergy (21%) and Petronas (21%), with Pre-Sal Petróleo S.A.
(PPSA) as manager.
The Sépia Co-participated Area is operated by Petrobras, with a
stake of 51.9%. TotalEnergies holds 19.2% net interest, alongside
QatarEnergy (14.4%) and Petronas (14.4%). The Sépia shared
reservoir is currently producing 170,000 barrels of oil per
day.
“This is excellent news, just a few months after concluding our
entry into the world-class Sépia field in Brazil, where we are
already benefitting from the production performance from the first
FPSO," said David Mendelson, Senior Vice President, Americas at
TotalEnergies Exploration & Production. “The resources
confirmed by the Pedunculo well appear to exceed pre-drill
expectations and add to the potential for future development of the
area. Thanks to their exceptional productivity and the innovative
technologies used in their developments, these resources fully fit
in TotalEnergies’ low-cost, low-emission oil portfolio.”
The well was drilled at a water depth of approximately 2,200
meters. The net thickness of the well’s oil column is one of the
highest ever recorded in Brazil. Operations to characterize the
reservoir and measure the extent of the discovery are ongoing.
