Sirius-2 井于 2024 年 6 月 19 日开始钻探。它位于 GUA-OFF-0 海上区块内，距离圣玛尔塔（该国北部马格达莱纳省首府）77 公里，水深 803 米。对 Sirius-2 井结果的评估证实了当地储量超过 6 万亿立方英尺^（ VGIP）。这一发现可能会使哥伦比亚目前的储量增加 200%。

由于这一结果，由 PIB-COL（作为运营商，占 44.44% 股份）和 Ecopetrol（占 55.56% 股份）组成的财团将开始收集海洋元数据，作为该发现生产开发项目的一部分。这些数据与有关海底的环境信息、水深测量和岩土/地球物理信息相结合，对于安装将天然气从油田输送到陆上天然气处理装置的天然气管道至关重要，包括安装海底生产系统。

该财团预计将在勘探阶段投资 12 亿美元，在生产开发阶段再投资 29 亿美元。分配给 PIB-COL 的投资包含在巴西石油公司的 2025-2029 年商业计划中。天然气生产预计将在获得所有环境许可证后的三年内开始，如果该发现被证明具有商业可行性，则计划于 2027 年开始。通过采用创新设计的“海底到岸”的四口生产井，预计 10 年的产量约为 1300 万立方米/天。基于这一发现，由于天然气的体积潜力巨大，将开始将天然气输送到消费中心所需的社会/环境和许可程序。

巴西石油公司重申其在哥伦比亚开展业务的承诺，安全工作，尊重生命、人民和环境，并承认与当地社区对话和遵守该国法律要求的重要性。

The Sirius-2 well started being drilled on 19 June 2024. It lies inside the area of the maritime block GUA-OFF-0, 77 km off Santa Marta (capital of the Magdalena department, in the country's north), at a water depth of 803 m. The assessment of the Sirius-2 well results confirmed local volumes of over 6 trillion f³ in place (VGIP). This discovery may increase Colombia's current reserves by 200%.

Because of this result, the consortium formed by PIB-COL, as the operator (44.44% stake), and Ecopetrol (55.56% stake) will start gathering oceanic metadata as a part of the discovery's Production Development Project. Those data, combined with environmental information about the bottom of the sea, bathymetry, and geotechnical/geophysical information, are essential to the installation of the gas pipeline that will carry natural gas from the field to the onshore gas treatment unit, including the installation of subsea production systems.

The consortium is expected to invest US$1.2 billion in the exploratory phase and another US$2.9 billion in the production development phase. The investments apportioned to PIB-COL are included in Petrobras's 2025-2029 Business Plan. Natural gas production is projected to start within three years of securing all environmental licenses, aiming for a 2027 launch if the discovery proves commercially viable. Through four producing wells in an innovative design "subsea to shore," the expected production is roughly 13 million m³/d for 10 years. Based on this discovery, with a substantial volumetric potential for natural gas, the social/environmental and licensing procedures required to carry the gas to consumer centres will begin.

Petrobras reaffirms its commitment to conducting operations in Colombia, working safely, respecting life, people, and the environment, and acknowledging the importance of talks with the local communities and compliance with the country's legal requirements.
