In A Few Days, ANP Will Release the Regulation for the Revitalization of Mature Fields With Expected Investments of Over R$15 Billion
The mature fields of the Campos Basin will receive investments to finally raise their productivity potential starting in July. This is due to the fact that during the same period, the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) announced that it will release the budget regulations for the assets that make up this sedimentary basin. The cities of Macaé and oil-producing municipalities will be directly and positively affected by these new resolutions.
According to industry data, the current employment potential after this new resolution will be around 381,000 direct jobs scalable by 2022. The royalties expected to be passed on to oil-producing cities could increase by 300% in revenue volume.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
Currently, these mature fields have been in a natural phase of production decline, as they have been exploited for nearly 40 years. Petrobras has shown its interest in investing in the region following the emergence of new technologies that can revitalize these wells, which are actually “immense,” reviving the oil and gas industry.
Fields That Will Be Revitalized
In May of this year, Marcelo Batalha, General Manager of UO-BC, reported that the Voador and Marlim fields are already secured. At this moment, there is an ongoing negotiation with ANP for the revitalization of the Albacora, Charlote, and Jubarte fields, which are very close to the pre-salt of Santos.
Other offshore multinational companies are interested in exploring these fields as well; in fact, many of them hold the technological expertise, in addition to tests that have proven successful. This phase opens precedents in a completely new market that will benefit many other assets in Brazil and around the world in the near future.
Job Projections by 2022
At this moment, negotiations about new ventures and mergers are taking place between major national and international oil companies, aiming to guarantee subsidies and investments for this new type of market. See the projected jobs calculated below with these new businesses:
2018 – 69 thousand
2019 – 79 thousand
2020 – 85 thousand
2021 – 78 thousand
2022 – 70 thousand
total – 381 thousand
