Petrobras confirms gas discovery in Colombia

—

Rio de Janeiro, August 5, 2024 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras, following up on the release disclosed on 07/29/2022, informs that it has achieved the main target of the Uchuva-2 well, confirming the extent of the gas discovery made in 2022 with the drilling of the Uchuva-1 well. This well adds relevant information for the development of a new frontier of exploration and production in Colombia, reinforcing the volumetric potential for gas in the region.

Uchuva-2 well, spudded on 06/19/2024, is located in deep waters in Colombia, 31 kilometers off the coast and at a water depth of 804 meters.

 

The well is in progress, with five phases, and the gas-bearing interval was verified at phase 4 through wireline logging, which will be further characterized through laboratory analyses.
