Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Hamilton, Bermuda, 27th November 2023: Seacrest Petroleo
Bermuda Limited (“Seacrest Petroleo” or the “Company”) today provides an update
on production volumes. The Company disclosed with its third quarter 2023 results
that a combination of weather events had resulted in an exceptional nine-week
period between full offtakes, requiring a material reduction in production
levels in November to manage remaining storage capacity at Terminal Norte
Capixaba.
An offtake that commenced on 20 November allowed the Company to ramp production
back up to normal levels. Seacrest Petroleo’s net production of oil and natural
gas as of yesterday had already reached 8,279 boepd (7,503 bopd oil), marking a
substantial recovery from the managed reduction.
Michael Stewart, CEO, said, “The rapid recovery in production is an
organizational and technical success that highlights the Company’s ability to
safely and efficiently respond to major challenges. It is a direct result of the
well-executed drawdown in production, which required detailed management of
wells and infrastructure to preserve the ability to quickly resume output. We
are looking forward to further growing production through our ongoing infill
drilling programme.”
