Block belonged to Anadarko and is already the second assignment made by Anadarko to British BP in 2 months in the Campos basin

The British oil company BP, through its subsidiary BP Energy, will operate another asset that belonged to Anadarko. Last Thursday (26/09), the ANP approved the transfer of the operation and 10,714% of Anadarko's stake in the BM-C-30 block, in the Campos Basin.
This was not Anadarko's only transfer, as a whole the ANP approved the transfer of 10,714% of its stake in the block to IBV. After Anadarko was acquired by Occidental Petroleum, The North American oil company had slices of its second concession transferred in less than 2 months.

In August, Anadarko had already transferred the operation of block BM-C-32 to BP Energy.

The ANP also approved the change of ownership in the block, granted in the sixth round of the ANP, from Total Energia to Total E&P.
Now the BM-C-30 block is made up as follows: BP Energy, operator with 35,71%, IBV (35,71%), Total E&P (20%) and Anadarko (8,57%).

It is worth remembering that Anadarko was negotiating with Chevron and had the deal “crossed” by Occidental Petroleum, which made a 70% higher offer for the American oil company. The two companies had already signed an acquisition agreement, but the deal was closed with Occidental Petroleum.

In August, BP Energy took over the operation of BM-C-32 which was also an Anadarko concession.
