("HRT O&G") forwarded to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis – ANP), Notice of Discovery of oil and gas in the well 1-HRT-4-AM.

Based on logging data, hydrocarbon shows in cuttings and gas detectors, two gasbearing intervals, with net pay of 11.2 meters and five oil-bearing intervals, with net pay of 41,2 meters, were observed in the Juruá Formation. All zones indicate good porosity.

The well was spud in August and reached a final depth of 2,806 meters, reaching the crystalline basement. The well is presently under further evaluation and in future will be cased in order to perform formation tests, with a view to characterizing the production potential of the reservoirs. The well is located in the Municipal District of Coari, in the State of Amazonas, and it was drilled by the Tuscany drilling rig - TUS-116.
