This excerpt taken from the PBR 20-F filed May 22, 2009. Nigeria, we hold
interests in two development blocks in which the Agbami field
commenced production in July 2008 and the Akpo field, in March
2009. The Agbami field is located on blocks OML 127 and OML 128
and is operated by Chevron as a unitized development in which we
hold a 13% interest. We expect peak production to reach 250
mbbl/d in early 2010. We expect the Akpo field on Block OML 130,
operated by Total, in which we hold a 20% interest, to reach
peak production of 185 mbbl/d in late 2009. Our investments in
the Agbami and Akpo fields are estimated at
U.S.$2.4 billion, of which we had invested
U.S.$1.8 billion as of December 31, 2008. Block OML
130 also contains the Egina, Egina South and Preowei fields. The
Egina field had its development plan approved by the Nigerian
government in March 2009, while in the Preowei and Egina South
fields exploration activities are underway. We are also the
operator of block OPL 315, with a 45% interest, in which
exploration activities are underway. We also operated block OPL
324, where we drilled two wells and concluded all exploratory
efforts and which we relinquished in December 2008.
