Brazil

Completed detailed studies of on- and offshore fields in several Brazilian geologic basins, including Campos, Acre, Camamu and Espirito Santo.  Recently evaluated the Bia-Camarupim offshore development in Espirito Santo.  Also evaluated fields offshore the northeast coast, including ELPs 11, BAS64, BAS97, Merzuela, Llana, Pescada, Arabaiana, RNS-33, RNS-95 and TNS-128.

Major work includes a probabilistic study of seven offshore oil and gas properties, including deepwater fields and prospects, for a potential acquisition.  Ryder Scott estimated 3P reserves based on geological evaluations, including seismic amplitude analysis and analogy and well performance.  Subject properties included the Manati, Coral, Sardinha, BAS-131, Cavalo Marinho, Estrela do Mar and Caravela Sul fields.

Major recent onshore work includes evaluations of resources and reserves with associated future production profiles and cashflow projections for the following properties in the Recôncavo Basin:
