Operating in the sharing system is not new for Ecopetrol; the company already has two areas under this regime, as during the 5th round, it acquired 20% of Pau-Brasil, in partnership with BP Energy (50%), which operates the asset, and CNOOC (30%).

To acquire the share in the Pau-Brasil field, the company paid a signature bonus of R$ 500 million and an excess oil of 63.79%.

With the confirmation of the conclusion of the negotiation, Ecopetrol’s portfolio in Brazil has expanded to five blocks, with two in the Santos Basin, one in the Mouth of the Amazon, one in Potiguar, and another in the Ceará Basin.
