17 Notifications of Oil and Gas Indications Were Made to the National Petroleum Agency in 2019

The National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) was notified 17 times in 2019 by operators who made discoveries of oil and gas in the country. There were 23 discoveries and 17 formal notifications. This value represents a 35% increase compared to the previous year. See also: Technicians Are Required Today to Work in São Paulo and Goiás

Of the 23 indications of hydrocarbons, 11 were oil and 8 were gas, with 15 discoveries onshore and 8 offshore. The oil discoveries were in Recôncavo (4), Espírito Santo (2), Santos (2), and Sergipe-Alagoas (2). The gas discoveries were in Parnaíba (6), Recôncavo (1), and Santos (1).

Discoveries of both, that is, of oil and gas, occurred in the Campos, Santos, Parnaíba, and Sergipe-Alagoas basins.

The indications of onshore oil and gas were: seven in the Parnaíba Basin (Eneva); five in Recôncavo (2 Petrobras, 2 Great Energy, and 1 Imetame) and three in Espírito Santo (BGM).

The offshore discoveries were made by Shell (1 Alto de Cabo Frio Central and others in South of Gato do Mato); Equinor (North of Carcará), and Petrobras (3 Sergipe-Alagoas, 1 Campos, and 1 Santos).

However, this advance is still far below the Brazilian historical peak, which was in 2012, when there were 174 discoveries (86 offshore and 88 onshore), according to the ANP. That year alone, Petrobras accounted for more than 50% of all discoveries made in the country.
