 for the steel mills and foundries’ process chain, requiring disposal in electric furnaces.
 In 2024, we successfully executed 33 offshore well abandonments, including well suspensions and permanent abandonments. In 2024, we introduced the use of a Dynamic Positioning Platform equipped with a Tethering BOP for shallow water abandonment activities. In 2023, the development of this technology was recognized with the OTC Distinguished Achievement Award Brasil in 2023. Additionally, for platform wells, we initiated a platform-free well suspension phase, which aims to reduce decommissioning costs.

Critical Resources in Exploration & Production
 We seek to procure, develop and retain all of the critical resources that are necessary to meet our production targets. Drilling rigs, special vessels, supply vessels and helicopters are important resources for our exploration and production operations and are centrally coordinated to assure both technical specifications and proper lead time. We will continue to evaluate our drilling and special vessel demands and intend to adjust our fleet size as needed.
