Brazilian oil and gas company HRT Participacoes em Petroleo, plans to drill 65 exploration wells and develop production at 52 wells by the end of 2014 in a $3.14 billion expenditure program, the company said Friday.
HRT is drilling its first wells in Brazil's Solimoes Basin and in Namibia this year, chief executive Marcio Rocha Mello told analysts on a conference call. The company's net potential resources at the two sites were recently announced at a total of 7.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
HRT has a cash position of 2.2 billion Brazilian reais ($1.37 billion) to finance its development program, the executive said.
"We have a queue of people knocking on our door to join the Namibia project," he said.
