YEARBOOK OF THE OIL AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY IN ESPÍRITO SANTO 2022
Onshore natural gas production in Espírito Santo is concentrated in ten
producing fields, which together account for 96.4% of total production.
The fields are: Fazenda Alegre (35.9%), Fazenda Santa Luzia (16.9%), Fa-
zenda São Rafael (16.5%), Rio São Mateus (11.1%), Lagoa Parda (5.8%),
Cancã (3.7%), Fazenda São Jorge (2.1%), Inhambu (1.9%), Cacimbas (1.8%)
and Fazenda Queimadas (0.9%).

Two phases mark the evolution of oil and natural
gas reserves in Espírito Santo. The first phase, in the
second half of the twentieth century, started in 1957,
was characterized by a concentration in onshore ac-
tivities in the north region of the state. In this same
phase, Espírito Santo always with the vocation, but
with the milestone of the beginning of maritime
exploration in Brazil in 1968, through well 1-ESS-1
(Espírito Santo Submarino), on the coast of the mu-
nicipality of São Mateus. The state was not a discov-
erer of oil or gas, but it found a gigantic salt dome,
bringing the first clues to look for hydrocarbons be-
low the salt layer. The second phase is marked by
the discovery of significant volumes of oil and gas in
deep waters, including the pre-salt layer. According
to data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Nat-
ural Gas and Biofuels - ANP presented in this chap-
ter, in 2001, Espírito Santo had 1.4% and 5.7% of oil
and natural gas reserves in its territory and area of
maritime influence, respectively.
After a sequence of relevant discoveries of hydro-
carbons on the coast of Espírito Santo, from the
2000s, the state became part of the group of the
three largest producers of O&G in Brazil, together
with the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, be-
ing the first to produce in the pre-
salt through well 1-ESS-103A, in
the Jubarte field, in September
2008. In 2009, it achieved a share
in national reserves of 12.8% for
oil and 15.1% for natural gas.
The increase in proven reserves
and the consequent projects for
the development of its produc-
tion, mostly headed by Petro-
bras, have led to the emergence
of important infrastructure in-
vestments and production flow,
marking a golden phase for the
sector and for the economic
development of the state. If, in
2001, the state's participation in
the national production of oil and
natural gas represented 1.5% and
2.8%, respectively, occupying the
seventh position among the pro-
ducing states in both inputs, in
2006 it became the second na-
tional producer. In 2014, the state
continued to occupy the secondView entire presentation
