Brava Energia has started its next offshore drilling campaign at Brazil’s Atlanta field, with the Lone Star rig beginning work on the first of two planned wells, ATL-9H and ATL-10H.
In a public update on 11 November, the operator said the rig had moved to Atlanta after finishing drilling at Papa-Terra. Brava expects the new Atlanta wells to begin producing in the first half of 2027.
The company’s quarterly campaign schedule identifies well connections in the first quarter of 2027 and first oil in the second quarter. Those remain targets: the start of drilling does not mean that either new well is already producing.
The two Atlanta wells form part of an integrated four-well campaign spanning Atlanta and Papa-Terra. Brava’s results release says Papa-Terra well PPT-52 is onstream, while PPT-53 has been drilled and connected but still requires applicable regulatory approvals before production can begin.
For the offshore supply chain, the latest milestone shifts the campaign’s drilling activity between the two fields while leaving connection and production-start work ahead.
