Polvo Field

The Company is the operator and holds 100% of the Polvo Field concession contract, acquired from BP Energy do Brasil Ltda. ("BP") - 60% in 2014 and from Maersk Energia Ltda. ("Maersk") - 40% in 2015. On March 29, 2023, the Field concession was transferred from the subsidiary Petro Rio O&G Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltda. ("PrioOG") to the subsidiary Bravo, starting a process of restructuring/streamlining the group's corporate structure, with no impact on the quarterly information.

The Polvo Field is in the southern portion of the Campos Basin (offshore) some 100 km east of the city of Cabo Frio in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The license covers an area of approximately 134 km2 with several prospects for future exploration. Average daily output during the first quarter of 2024 was of roughly 6.1 thousand barrels (6.0 thousand barrels for the first quarter of 2023).

Tubarão Martelo ("TBMT") and Prio Forte S.A. ("Forte")

As of August 3, 2020, PrioOG completed the acquisition of 80% of the Tubarão Martelo Field operations and took over the Field's operation.

The Tubarão Martelo Field is located in the south of the Campos Basin, approximately 86 kilometers off the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The license covers an area of approximately 32 km², with an average water depth of 110m. The Field produced approximately 9.8 thousand bbl of oil per day in the first quarter of 2024 (6.5 thousand bbl of oil per day in the first quarter of 2023).

FPSO Bravo and connection between the Polvo and Tubarão Martelo fields

As of February 3, 2020, the Company entered into a contract for the acquisition of the FPSO Bravo vessel (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading - FPSO), built in 2012 with a processing capacity of 100 thousand bbl of oil per day and storage capacity of 1.3 million bbl.

Currently, the FPSO operates in the Tubarão Martelo and Polvo Fields, through a tieback with the Polvo A Fixed Platform, concluded on July 14, 2021.

Frade Field

On March 25, 2019 and October 01, 2019, after complying with the precedent conditions and obtaining the necessary approvals, Jaguar completed the acquisition of 51.74% and 18.26%, respectively, of interest in the concession of Frade Field, in the operational assets of the Field, and assumed the operation of the Field.

Furthermore, on November 28, 2019, Jaguar signed a purchase and sale agreement with Petrobras for the acquisition of the remaining 30% interest in the Field, increasing interest in Frade Field to 100%. The completion of this transaction took place on February 5, 2021.

The Frade Field is in the northern region of the Campos Basin, about 120 kilometers from the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro. The license covers an area of approximately 154 km², with an average water depth of 1,155 m. In the 1Q24, the Field produced approximately 45.2 thousand bbl of oil per day in the first quarter of 2024 (32.9 thousand bbl of oil per day in the first quarter of 2023).

Albacora Leste field

On April 28, 2022, Jaguar signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras") for the acquisition of a 90% interest and operation of Albacora Leste Field, with Repsol Sinopec Brasil as the partner holding the remaining 10%.

On January 26, 2023, upon ANP's approval, the acquisition of operation and a 90% interest in Albacora Leste Field ("Field" or "Albacora Leste") with Petrobras was concluded. As of this date, PRIO becomes the operator of the asset, pursuant to Note 8.
