 water depth of 1,940 meters. In February 2025, we confirmed the presence of oil in the field. Tests conducted from a depth of 5,600 meters confirmed the presence of oil reservoirs through electrical profiles, which will later be characterized through laboratory analyses. This is a new accumulation in a zone below the main reservoir. The discovery reaffirms the Pre-salt potential of the Búzios field.
 
EQUATORIAL MARGIN
 In 2024, we concluded the drilling of the Pitu Oeste well (BM-POT-17 block) and Anhangá well (POT-M-762_R15 block), in the Potiguar Basin, and identified the presence of hydrocarbons on both wells. Such discoveries are under evaluation, aiming to assess the quality of the reservoirs, the characteristics of the oil, and the technical-commercial viability of the accumulation.

Equatorial Margin, located in the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil, stretches over 2,200 km between the states of Amapá             
and Rio Grande do Norte. This area is considered a significant exploratory frontier in deep and Ultra-deepwaters. Five Basins are part         
of the Equatorial Margin: Foz do Amazonas, Pará-Maranhão, Barreirinhas, Ceará and Potiguar. We are seeking authorization                       
from the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) for a Pre-Operational Assessment (APO) and an Operating    
License to drill one exploratory well in the FZA-M-59 block, located in Ultra-deepwaters off the coast of Amapá, approximately                 
175 km from the coast and 540 km from the mouth of the Amazon River, at a water depth of over 2,800 meters.

are no conservation units, indigenous lands, or proximity to rivers, lakes, floodplains, or reef systems in the area. To address potential     
environmental impacts, such as the possible scenario of an oil spill, we use modern techniques to model oil dispersion in the sea, following   
IBAMA’s requirements. The modeling studies for the FZA-M-59 block indicate a low risk of oil reaching the Brazilian coast. Nevertheless,       
we have proposed a coastal response structure for offshore and coastal areas, including monitoring and veterinary care. In case of a
