Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Hamilton, Bermuda, 21 July 2023: Seacrest Petroleo
Bermuda Limited (“Seacrest Petroleo” or the “Company”) will publish its
financial report for the second quarter 2023 on Tuesday, 22 August. Today, the
Company provides an update on production and sales volumes and other relevant
items for the period.
Seacrest Petroleo is pleased to confirm that production from the Norte Capixaba
and Cricaré fields averaged 8,795 boepd in the second quarter of 2023, in line
with prior guidance.
This 24% growth in field production over the prior quarter reflects the
efficient takeover of Norte Capixaba operations from the prior operator during
the quarter and the immediate execution of the Company’s well repair and
optimization programme. Seacrest Petroleo successfully more than doubled gas
production in the fields in order to internally source the required energy
previously supplied from the prior operator’s offshore fields.
The volumes of oil sold in the quarter amounted to 777 kbbls (of which 100 kbbls
were purchased during the quarter as third party oil and diluent). Seacrest
Petroleo obtained an average net realized oil price of USD 69 per bbl in the
quarter.
