2.5.2. Onshore Oil
and Gas Production
Offshore oil production in Espírito
Santo in 2020 was 3.3 million barrels,
6.2% lower than the volume recorded
in the previous year (Chart 19). The
State has reached the lowest level of
onshore oil production since the be-
ginning of the century. The Produc-
tion historic peak was between 2002
and 2003 when 9.0 and 9.2 million
barrels, respectively. After this peri-
od, production reduced, attaining in
2020 the same production levels of
the 1990s, when the exploratory ac-
tivities of the 2000s had not yet been
intensified.
Onshore natural gas production in
Espírito Santo, in 2020, was 27.0 mil-
lion m³, 15.7% lower than in the pre-
Ivious year (chart 20). The State has
reached the lowest level of onshore
natural gas production since the be-
reached its historic peak between
2004 and 2005 when 473.7 and
474.0 million m³ of natural gas, re-
spectively.
The explanation for this trend is re-
lated to Petrobras' little desire for
onshore production, and the little
stimulus provided by ANP through
regulatory measures during the ear-
ly 2000s. Despite these results, it is
expected that Espírito Santo's on-
95.0% of onshore oil pro-
duction in Espírito Santo is
concentrated in ten fields:
95.0% of onshore oil production
in Espírito Santo is concentrated
in ten producing fields: Fazenda
Alegre (48.6%), Cancã (15.8%), In-
hambu (8.0%), Fazenda São Ra-
fael (7.7%), Fazenda Santa Luzia
(6.8%), Fazenda São Jorge (3.2%),
Rio Preto Oeste (1.5%), São Mateus
(1.2%), Fazenda Queimadas (1.1%),
and Lagoa Parda (1.1%). Except for

cession to the Imetame group, all
other fields were granted under
concession to Petrobras.
Onshore natural gas production in
Espírito Santo is concentrated in ten
producing fields, which, in conjunc-
tion account for 96.2% of total pro-
duction. These fields are: Fazenda
Alegre (39.9%), Fazenda Santa Luzia
(18.3%), Fazenda São Rafael (17.3%),
Cancã (6.4%), Rio São Mateus (6.0%),
Lagoa Parda (2.0%), Fazenda São
Jorge (2.0%), Inhambu (1.7%), Cacim-
bas (1.4%) and Lagoa Suruaca (1.1%).

shore production may show signs of
recovery due to the recent measures
implemented by ANP to encourage
onshore production, especially and
more intensively after 2017. More-
over, the sale of onshore assets by
Petrobras could attract new players
in the sector and, thereby boost fu-
ture production.
