The concession contract refers to the exploratory concession of Block BC-60, acquired in the Zero Round of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP). This contract has Petrobras as the operator and includes other fields beyond Catuá, which will not be part of the current rights transfer process.

About the Catuá Oil and Gas Field in the Campos Basin
It is a deep-water field, discovered by Petrobras in 2003, with no production. The commercial declaration was made in 2006. There are four drilled wells in the field where light oils were found in carbonate deposits, according to Petrobras.
Earlier this month, Petrobras also announced the sale of its stake in a company that holds interests in 15 offshore fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Specifically, Petrobras is selling its entire 20% stake held by its subsidiary Petrobras America Inc. (PAI) in the company MP Gulf of Mexico (MPGoM), located in Texas.
MPGoM has an operator or non-operator interest in 15 offshore fields in the Gulf of Mexico, along with an interest in the St. Malo hosting platform operated by Chevron.
