But what is the importance of these bidding rounds?
One of the highlights of this year's bidding marathon is that foreign companies will also be able to fight for exploration blocks, which total 287 in 29 regions and 9 basins. The sum of all areas tendered reach an incredible 122.622,40 square kilometers. Of these blocks, there will be 110 blocks at sea and 177 on land. The basins explored will be in Campos, Espírito Santo, Santos, Sergipe-Alagoas, Paraná, Parnaíba, Potiguar and Recôncavo. Other big news will be that small, medium and large companies will also participate. As there are 177 blocks on land, you will not necessarily need CBSP and HUET courses to work in the oil business, for example.
