Although the Path to Commercial Exploitation Is Filled with Careful Steps, the Potential to Transform Roraima’s Economy and Boost Oil and Gas Production Is Remarkable.

The National Agency of Petroleum (ANP) revealed to Norte Extremo that it is conducting advanced studies in blocks TCT-T-01 and TCT-T02, located in the Tacutu Basin, municipality of Bonfim. Although the ANP has not included these blocks in its oil and gas exploration auctions, the research results point to a promising future for the region.

The blocks in question have not yet been included in the auctions promoted by the ANP, due to the need to complete several preliminary steps.

These include detailed studies, thorough environmental assessments, obtaining environmental opinions, and holding a public hearing.

Possible Oil Exploration in Bonfim Promises to Transform Roraima’s Economy

The economic viability of this venture is highlighted by Souza, who emphasizes the potential positive impact on royalties to be received by the state of Roraima and the municipality of Bonfim.

Commercial oil exploration could bring significant investments during the infrastructure implementation phase, generating considerable economic transformations.

The magnitude of this transformation would depend on the production volume in the basin, potentially altering Roraima’s economic matrix.

Regarding the duration of the process, Vladimir de Souza mentions variability, noting that the interest of the Federal Government can accelerate or delay the procedure.

However, with the subject already gaining attention and considering the pressures resulting from recent oil discoveries in Guyana and Suriname, the possibility of an accelerated process is real.

Souza speculates that the auction of the blocks could occur in less than a year, if sufficient basic information is available.

In a proactive strategy, a third geology course has been implemented in the Northern region, focusing on oil research, along with a registration at the ANP.

This initiative has proven visionary, as the discovery of oil indications in the Tacutu Basin in Bonfim, made by researchers from the Federal University of Roraima in August, confirms the region’s potential.

The traces of oil found in samples of black shales and carbonates collected at a shallow depth of 45 meters in 2016 highlight the prospect of future explorations.

This discovery could trigger more in-depth research, opening doors for a positive economic impact in the State.
