According to Sources, The Oil Company 3R Forms Consortium to Purchase Gas Fields from Petrobras in the Peroa Cluster, in the Offshore of the Espírito Santo Basin
In addition to its operations in onshore fields in Brazil, 3R Petroleum has shown interest in acquiring offshore fields from Petrobras’ Peroa cluster in the Espírito Santo Basin. According to sources to Reuters this Thursday (08), a consortium of 3R and DBO Energy, a company made up of Brazilian and Norwegian executives, is in negotiations with Petrobras to carry out the transaction.

The Peroa cluster, located offshore in the state of Espírito Santo, would be among the first entirely gas offshore fields sold by Petrobras amid a broader effort to break the company’s nearly monopoly in the natural gas value chain in Brazil, according to Reuters.
Petrobras has always been the dominant operator in most sectors of the country’s natural gas industry. In recent years, however, the state-owned company has begun its divestment process of pipelines and transportation and distribution assets, in a move that the company and the government hope will stimulate competition.

About the Offshore Asset of Petrobras in ES
In 2019, the Peroa cluster produced just under 1 million cubic meters of gas per day, although it has produced several times that amount in recent years. The cluster also includes the Malombe prospect, discovered in 2011, which studies indicate could produce up to 2.5 million cubic meters daily if developed.
Partly due to the mature profile of the Peroa offshore asset, it is expected to be sold for a relatively low price compared to other production assets offered by Petrobras in the area, the sources said.
