This Time, The Registered Companies Were PetroRecôncavo, EnP Ecossistemas Energéticos Holdings, And EMT Construtora

The ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels) reported that three new companies have been registered in the permanent offer of oil exploration areas. These are: PetroRecôncavo S.A., EnP Ecossistemas Energéticos Holdings S.A., and EMT Construtora Ltda.

With the approval of the registrations of the new companies, the Permanent Offer now has a total of 57 registered companies. These approvals were published last Friday in the Federal Official Gazette.

Differently from what happened with the bidding rounds (suspended due to the pandemic), the Permanent Offer is ongoing. The reason, according to the ANP, is that the process consists of a continuous offer of returned fields (or in the process of being returned), and exploratory blocks offered in previous bids that were not awarded or returned to the agency.

Moreover, according to the Agency, 27 of the 45 concession contracts from the first cycle of the offer have already been promoted, conducted in September of last year.

Petrobras Clarifies About “Hibernated” Onshore Fields

Petrobras clarifies that there has been no decision to hibernate onshore fields. Thus, the information that Petrobras’s board “reversed and suspended” the hibernation of such fields is false. There is no way to go back on a decision that was not originally made, Petrobras stated in a note.

The state-owned company informed that the hibernation decision, announced to the market on 26/3, covers only 62 platforms of fields in shallow waters, in the Campos, Sergipe, Potiguar, and Ceará basins.

Currently, the state company operates 168 onshore fields, where in the first quarter of this year, production totaled 114 thousand barrels of oil per day, of which 14 fields had production temporarily suspended to ensure the safety of workers due to the pandemic and also due to low oil prices.
