Papa Terra cluster
Production at the Papa Terra cluster increased 54% from February to March 2024, mainly as a result of greater operational efficiency in the active wells, following the connection of the PPT-12 well in February 2024. The workover campaign to change the ESP pumps (Electrical Submersible Pump) continues, in line with the work schedule established for the asset, with intervention in the PPT-17, PPT-37 and PPT-50 wells.
Peroá cluster
Production at the Peroá cluster remained stable February to March 2024 as a result of the sale of the natural gas volume outlined in the take-or-pay contract, which is lower than the asset’s current production capacity.
Illinois Basin
Production at Illinois Basin decreased 7% from February to March 2024. The decreased production was caused by an issue in one of the new production wells drilled in Q4-23. The repair of the well has been completed and the well is back in production as of 5th April. The production decrease was mitigated by the oil production launch of the third new well during the month.
Maha’s Assets
