Dommo Energia is a Brazilian publicly listed oil and gas company. Until 2017 it was known as OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações S.A. (OGX). Prior to a 2013 bankruptcy filing, OGX was Brazil's second-largest oil company by market value after Petrobras.[1]

On September 1, 2022, PetroRio announced the purchase of Dommo Energia. On October 24, PetroRio approved the incorporation of the company.[2] With the transaction, the company now owns 100% of the Tubarão Martelo field.[3]

History

[edit]

OGX was founded in 2007. In June 2008 it held initial public offering and the company was listed at BM&F Bovespa.[4]

In September 2009, the company started its exploration activities.[5] At the same year OGX made its first oil discovery at the Waimea offshore field and on 31 January 2012 it started oil production.[6] It made several other oil discoveries.[7]

In 2010, it discovered oil at the Pero and Inga fields in Block BM-C-40.[8]

In 2013 OGX was forced to file for bankruptcy protection in the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro after defaulting on a $45m bond payment.[9] [10]

OGX was renamed Dommo Energia in 2017.[11]

In 2023, after the acquisition, Dommo Energia went closed its capital on the stock exchange.[12]

Operations

[edit]

OGX is engaged in onshore and offshore exploration and production activities. It owns exploratory blocks in the Campos, Santos, Espírito Santo, Pará-Maranhão and Parnaíba basins in Brazil and the Cesar-Ranchería, Lower Magdalena Valley and Middle Magdalena Valley basins in Colombia.

Its Waimea field in the Campos Basin is producing about 12,500 barrels per day (1,990 m3/d) with expected output rise to 40,000–50,000 barrels per day (6,400–7,900 m3/d) by the end of 2012.[13] Production at the Gaviao Real field is expected to start in 2012 and at the Waikiki field in 2013.[8][14]
