TCU approved the auction rules after lengthy negotiations with MME and according to ANP’s notice, companies have until September 23 to express their interest in the assets.
The Onerous Assignment
The ANP mega auction is a bidding process that is part of the onerous assignment agreement; under this 2010 agreement, Petrobras and the Union agreed that Petrobras would pay for the right to explore 5 billion barrels of pre-salt oil in the Santos Basin. The excess would be the portion that would be auctioned and would belong to Petrobras, hence the Brazilian state-owned company will have to be reimbursed for the investments already made in the fields, seeing that oil reserves have proven to be much higher than expected.
The auction of the excess from the onerous assignment is one of the most anticipated by the market, sparking the interest of Petrobras and foreign oil companies Total, ExxonMobil, CNOOC, BP, Shell, and Petrogal, which actively participated in the discussions of the pre-notice of the bidding process.
