The Peroá Hub contains the Peroá and Cangoá fields, which belong to concession BM-ES-21 (Malombe Discovery Assessment Plan). OP Energia and DBO Energia, subsidiaries of 3R Petroleum, will form a consortium to acquire the Peroá Hub, each holding a 50% stake, with the former as the operator.

According to Petrobras’ report on the US$ 55 million, US$ 5 million will be paid on the present date; US$ 7.5 million at the closing of the transaction, and US$ 42.5 million in contractually anticipated contingent payments related to factors such as the declaration of commerciality of Malombe, future oil prices, and extension of concession terms.

“The amounts do not consider adjustments due until the closing of the transaction, which is subject to the fulfillment of precedent conditions, such as approval by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP)” said Petrobras in the statement.

Roberto Ardenghy, Director of Institutional Relations and Sustainability at Petrobras, believes that signing the contract is an important milestone in consolidating a stronger and more competitive industry. “Our goal is to maximize the value of our portfolio and provide opportunities for other companies in the sector to also thrive. In the portfolio of these companies, the Peroá Hub can develop, receive new resources, and extend its lifespan, positively impacting job creation and income for the region.”
