The Onerous Assignment Agreement
In a discussion that has lasted five years, Petrobras is being compensated for the review of the onerous assignment contract, signed with Petrobras in 2010.
At the time, the oil company received the right to produce up to 5 billion boe in the areas of Florim, Franco, Sul de Guará, Entorno de Iará, Sul de Tupi and Nordeste de Tupi, in the Santos cluster. The value of a barrel of oil equivalent was estimated, at the time, at US$ 8,51, which generated a payment of US$ 42,5 billion by the oil company.
The exploratory work carried out in the region resulted in the discovery of ten fields: Itapu, Búzios, South of Sapinhoá, North of Berbigão, South of Berbigão, North of Sururu, South of Sururu, Atapu, South of Lula and Sépia.
The surplus would be the portion that would be auctioned and would belong to Petrobras. an agreement was needed, as such a situation was not foreseen in the contract (oil reserves were confirmed to be much higher than forecasts).
