Is the word esgotadas the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The meaning, grammar, and spelling of "esgotadas" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and the "s" is pronounced as a simple [s]. In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more closed (reduced), and the "s" at the end of a syllable or word is typically pronounced with a "sh" sound ([ʃ]).
