For PPSA, The Direct Hiring Of Petrobras To Market Oil Is Seen As The Best Option, Although New Auctions Are Not Ruled Out.
The Company Has Been Marketing Oil Volumes Through Spot Sales And Auctions And Its Current Contracts Are Sufficient For The Next Two Or Three Years.
After The Pre-Salt Auctions Scheduled For November, The Estimate Of The Union’s Oil Share In The Future Will Need To Be Revised. According To The Company President Gerk, Studies Present The Possibility Of Reaching 500,000 Barrels Of Oil Per Day (bpd) By 2028.
The Greatest Expectation With The Increase In The Current Estimate Lies In The Mega Auction That Will Auction On November 6 The Excess Volumes From The Production Sharing Agreement In The Pre-Salt Of The Santos Basin, Which Could Raise About 106 Billion Reais For The Union In Fixed Signing Bonuses, If All Four Areas Are Negotiated.
Another Auction, The 6th Pre-Salt Production Sharing Round, Is Scheduled For November 7, With Other Promising Areas On Offer.
The Advancement Of Production In The Pre-Salt Will Also Determine The Growth Rate And Hiring At PPSA. Currently, The Company Has 44 Employees And Is Preparing A Job And Salary Plan To Be Approved By The Ministry Of Economy In The First Half Of Next Year.
After Approval, The Idea Is To Prepare A Public Competition For The End Of 2020 For The Admission Of Employees In 2021. The Initial Plan Is To Hire About 50 Approved Candidates, But The Number May Increase Depending On The Speed Of Development Of The Pre-Salt Fields.
The Government Will Pay About 109 Million Reais Owed To PPSA Regarding Resources From The 4th And 5th Pre-Salt Rounds Between This Year And Next. It Also Stated That The PPSA’s Financial Position Is Comfortable For Ongoing Activities.
