Overview

  • Petrobras said electric logs and fluid sampling confirmed gas-bearing intervals at Copoazu-1, including in a secondary target.
  • The well sits in Block GUA-OFF-0 about 36 km offshore in 964 meters of water and roughly 8 km from the Sirius-1 and Sirius-2 wells.
  • Drilling started on November 11, 2025 and continues, with laboratory work pending to characterize volumes and quality.
  • Petrobras operates via its PIB-COL subsidiary with a 44.44% stake, while Ecopetrol holds 55.56%.
  • The company says the find reinforces the Colombian offshore gas province and adds volume to support regional energy security, linking to the 2024 Sirius-2 discovery estimated above 6 Tcf.
