About the Annual Exploration Forecast of the National Agency of Petroleum
The forecast is updated every year, based on the work plans and budgets presented by the operators to the ANP.
The numbers are important indicators especially for service companies that are planning for this year of 2021 that has just begun.
“Due to the uncertainties inherent to the variables considered, as well as the possibility of updates and revisions of these estimates by the operators, there is no guarantee of the realization of the estimates throughout the simulated period”, warns the ANP.
