Petrobras and ExxonMobil Acquired Almost 90% of the Campos Basin and 17 Companies Acquired the Remainder. Jobs and Investments Are Back!
[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]The 14th bidding round of oil exploration blocks yielded an amount of R$ 3.84 billion extra, according to the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels). In total, 17 companies acquired exploratory sites, of which 7 are foreign companies. However, two companies stood out in this bargain, Petrobras and ExxonMobil, which were responsible for almost 90% of the bids, that is, R$ 3.6 billion in deals, THIS IN THE CAMPOS BASIN!!!!
The ANP further adds that this was the most profitable oil auction in history, due to the favorable exchange rate. In the auction held in 2015, only R$ 121 million was raised in bonuses. In 2013, the record was R$ 2.8 billion, which was now surpassed on the 27th (Wednesday).
In this round, 287 blocks were offered in 9 oil basins across Brazil, with a total area close to 123,000 km². However, only 37 of them were acquired and many received only one proposal. The Campos Basin was the most contested.

The Campos Basin Is Back in the Game
As Click Petroleum and Gas mentioned earlier, the most interesting basin was that of Campos, as it had the highest revenue and interest from companies. Petrobras and the giant ExxonMobil practically acquired everything and now hold the concessions of these exploration fields. The revitalization of mature fields and the discovery of pre-salt in this region are projects that are worth gold. Pedro Parente himself said he already had valuable data regarding the Campos Basin; he just didn’t disclose it to the media for strategic reasons.
