The hydrocarbon-bearing interval was identified through electric logs, gas shows, and fluid sampling. The samples will subsequently be sent for laboratory analysis, which will allow the characterization of the reservoir conditions and the fluids found, enabling the continuation of the evaluation of the area’s potential. The drilling of the well was completed safely, with full respect for the environment and for people.
