ANP Denies BW Energy’s Request for Royalty Reduction
ANP denied BW Energy’s (BW Offshore) request for a royalty reduction for Maromba. The agency claimed that the Campos Basin asset does not meet the criteria of resolution 749/2018, which encompasses the incentive for production in mature fields.
The Maromba field originates from block BC-20 awarded to Petrobras in Round Zero and is located in shallow waters south of the Campos Basin near the Peregrino and Papa-Terra fields, which are currently in production.
BW Energy is an oil and gas company focused on the growth, acquisition, development, and production of oil and natural gas fields. The company is present in the world’s major oil regions: Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe.
