Dillianz Enters The Oil and Gas Sector With Block in Mato Grosso. Agriculture Group Bets on New Energy Frontier and Expands Strategic Portfolio.
The gaucho group Dillianz, with over 100 years of tradition in agriculture, has just expanded its operations to the natural oil and gas market, after winning alone the concession for an exploratory block in Mato Grosso.
The official entry into the sector took place last week during the 5th Cycle of the Permanent Offering of Concessions of the National Agency of Oil, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP), in an auction that stood out for its competitiveness and strategic projection.
The block PRC-T-121, with an area of 601.88 km², is located in the Parecis Basin, a region of new energy frontier that also encompasses the state of Rondônia.

Brazil could become a global oil powerhouse with reserves jumping from 17 billion to 23.5 billion barrels, investments of US$ 30 billion per year, and exploration in the Equatorial Margin that could extend Brazilian production until 2042.
Dillianz secured the block with a bid of R$ 55 thousand, committing to invest at least R$ 12.091 million in the initial phase of the project. Representing the company, the president of the group, Ivandro Dias, was responsible for participating in the round.
New Strategic Bet in Mato Grosso
The choice of Mato Grosso is not random. The region, traditionally agricultural, is seen by the federal government as strategic for natural gas production, due to its proximity to major centers such as Cuiabá, Campo Grande, Goiânia, and Brasília.
In addition, there is already an established technical and commercial infrastructure, with qualified labor available.
According to the ANP, the Parecis Basin has seen few investments in recent years — only five wells drilled since the 1990s, the last one in 2014. Petrobras was the last major company to invest in the region, in 2008.
Dillianz Expands Portfolio Beyond Agriculture: Oil is The New Target
Founded in Rio Grande do Sul, Dillianz has consolidated its reputation in agriculture over decades, with operations in several states like Bahia, Piauí, and Roraima. Its production includes soy, corn, wheat, and cattle.
Since 2016, the group has undergone strong diversification, operating with 15 companies in areas such as finance, real estate, solar energy, and international commodity trade.
With the creation of Dillianz Oil & Gas, the group expands its presence in the energy sector. The company also plans to invest in extraction technologies, fossil fuel commercialization, and sustainable alternatives to minimize environmental impact.
Focus on Innovation and Strategic Partnerships
Dillianz is already making ambitious plans beyond oil extraction. The company intends to establish partnerships with onshore and offshore operators, develop logistics hubs for fuel storage and distribution, and support research projects in renewable energy.
Among the potential clients for the new energy division are petrochemical industries, logistics companies, transporters, and operators in the agricultural sector — a segment in which Dillianz already has extensive expertise.
Permanent Offer by The National Agency of Oil Boosts New Players
The permanent offering model adopted by the ANP allows companies to submit proposals when they deem most opportune, without relying on traditional rounds with fixed deadlines.
This flexibility was essential for Dillianz’s entry into the oil and gas sector, in a move aligned with its strategy for expansion and innovation.
Now, the Dillianz group awaits the signing of the contract, expected to occur by November 28, after fulfilling mandatory steps such as presenting documents and paying the signing bonus.
