With a high exploration potential, foz do Amazonas ANP | The auction of the economy

Oil search at the Amazonus facade, one of the five sedimentary basins on the innocent and para coast, will be able to get new directions by the end of this year, from the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) auction to be held on June 17. Interested oil companies are available in 332 areas in the notice of a permanent concession offer (OPC), to indicate the blocks they want to dispute until the end of this month.

The federal government is under pressure from the environmental licensing of Black 59 to attract investment to another 47 areas in the region. If they are bid, contracts must be signed until November 2025, according to information approved by the AnP Liberal Group, paves the way to intensify the search in the basin. Petrobras speaks of providing a greater emergency response structure already used in exploration research

The so-called equatorial margin is spread from Amapa to Rio Grande Do Norte, including Foz Do Amazonas, Para-Maranho, Barririnhas, Sear and Potigwar’s precipitation basins. It is considered a good exploration boundary for oil and gas production, similar to innovations in neighboring countries such as Gayana and Surinam.

The 34 explorable blocks of the equator margin are granted to 13 companies, including petrobras, the main operator in the area. These blocks are distributed across the basins and represent a new explorable boundary that is likely to produce oil and natural gas in the country.

In a note to a liberal group, Petrobras has strengthened plans to expand exploration boundaries in Brazil, focusing on the equator margin. According to the state -owned organization, the area has great capacity in ultra -proof water, which has been reinforced by recent innovations from other organizations such as Guyana and Surinam offshore.

According to the company’s 2025-2029 Business Plan, it provides 15 explorable wells in the equator margin with drilling. Petrobras pointed out that the initiative was needed to ensure the country’s safety and energy sovereignty.

To start the project, the company said it would work to meet the Ibama needs of the Licensing of the FZA-M-59 block in Amapa. Petrobras said that the largest emergency response used in the explorable research will provide construction. “For oil control, we are dedicated to six vessels, three planes and six other vessels to the protection of the animal,” the state said. In addition, an fauna management center in Oiapok is installed, which is accompanied by the belt, and more than 100 experts participate in the operation.

Petrobras, drilling oil and gas accumulation of the explorable well, aims to increase the knowledge of the sediment basins in the area. If the results are hopeful and economically profitable, the area can reach the production stage, the 27 -year contract duration.

Petrobras said it was ready to carry out operations with liability and security and to apply its operational knowledge and advanced technology. “We strengthen the values ​​of respect for life, people and environment. All activities follow security standards and good social techniques strictly,” the company said.

Probability

According to ANP, in response to the Liberal Group questions, the exploratory activity in Guyana and Surinam has led to a number of world -class innovations in the South American equator margin. The agency said Giana currently estimates about 11 billion barrels, in Brazil, about 16 billion barrels.

“According to studies conducted by AnP, the Brazilian Equatorial Margin has a higher exploration capacity, similar to successful innovations in Guyana and Surinam. This probability contributes significantly to replacing national reserves, although it has not yet been tested by perforation.”

For the bid’s holding agency, the “strategic opportunity” for the purchase of new explorable blocks, which allows the progress of geographical studies and extending knowledge about these areas. This process, says AnP to strengthen new innovations and Brazilian reserves.

“Historically, the exploration in the equator margin has focused on shallow waters, especially with the discovery of small farms, especially in the basins of Sear and Potigar. However, the current exploration for this area is in deep water, especially in the FOZ du Amazonas basin,” agency details.

According to the agency, the geographical financial analyzes of sedimentary basins are performed for areas provided at the OPC, integrating technical literature, earthquake data and wells in their geographical assessment. The identification and evaluation of exploration opportunities on the sub -surface also occurs, which are analyzed in conjunction with the oil system of each basin. This information is guided by the design of the blocks to be provided and their bidding parameters, the note.

The environment

Due to the capacity of large hydrocarbon reserves, there has been an increased interest in the region in recent years, but there is anxiety with the effects of sensitive ecosystems, especially at the Amazonus gate, especially at the Amazonus gate.

In response to the Liberal Group, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) has been added to the high tenderness and environmental characteristics of the area, which are attached to the low -infrastructure for accidental visuals, which are some of the main fonds of oil and gas exploration and environmental licensing.

According to the Environment Agency, every project that needs to be obtained is sufficient for the environmental characteristics of areas intended to implement it. “In the case of Maritime Drilling in the FZA-M-59 block, an emergency response to the environmental sensitivity of the area, as well as its operational challenges, is the main factor of the ongoing environmental licensing.”

In addition, the licensing process depends on evaluation of the effects of the installation and installing environmental risks. However, despite the legal provisions of the environmental evaluation of the sedimentary area, they have not been managed so far, not for the strategic environmental assessment of the basin and defining their ability or activities.

“Ibama welcomes and considered all the works submitted in the environmental licensing processes of its capacity. All the environmental license issued represents its recipient fully adhering to its recipient, and its implementation is constantly monitoring Ibama. Ibama uses many tools to monitor its licenses and use the services of remote monitoring tools.

Permanent Offer, Environmental Organizations – Ibama and Chico Mendis Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (Izimbio), for sea and state environmental organs, for territories, and in advance of the state environmental organs, and for the inclusion of blocks and areas for the inclusion of blocks and areas.

These areas should also be supported by the joint manifestation of the Mines and Energy Ministry (MME) and the Ministry of Environment (MMA) or the environmental evaluation of the environment (AAAS). “All decisions of these organs of the exclusion or Black Reasom are attended by the ANP. The blocks in the notice are authorized by the joint expressions of MME and MMA.”

Auction

Companies interested in participating in a permanent subsidy offer should make their application for registration according to current notice, which is considered bidding for an interested party that has its request for the registration approved by the www.gov.br/anp-Special Bidding Committee (CL) and perform updated registration papers.

Registration is also mandatory and mandatory for a personal and every interested organization for those who want to participate in the consortium. To participate, an interested organization must: fill the electronic registration form; Send detailed documents in the notice; And send the presentation letter specifically for the exploration of oil and natural gas in Brazil and for shareholders who do not contract for production.
