Our business segments
As of December 31, 2023, we
considered as a single segment the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas and LPG (including exploration and production commercial activities), through our own activities, subsidiaries and interests in joint operations and based on the
nature of the business, customer portfolio and risks involved. We therefore have only one business segment.

development and extraction of crude oil, natural gas and LPG.
We organize our operations into 14 blocks, i.e., areas defined by concession contracts or
