With the Long-Awaited Agreement of the Surplus Transfer between the Government and Petrobras Finalized, the Amount to Be Received by the Oil Company Relates to the Review of the Surplus Transfer Contract

In an extraordinary meeting of the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE), held this Tuesday (04/09), the government announced the payment to Petrobras of US$ 9.058 billion for the surplus transfer contract to be reviewed.
The payment will be made by the union in a single installment and will be funded with the amount that exceeds the auction of the surplus that the government intends to conduct or on a deadline yet to be defined.

The Special Secretary of the Treasury, Waldery Rodrigues, believes that the payment will be made on the same day the auction bonus is signed.
He also emphasized that the payment should take place on December 13 and that due to the interest that the auction is generating in the market the amount of bonus collected will be high and will cover this payment to Petrobras.
The announcement for the Surplus Transfer auction is expected to be released on August 30, with the auction already scheduled for October 28.

The Surplus Transfer Agreement

In a discussion that has lasted five years, Petrobras is being reimbursed for the review of the surplus transfer contract, signed with Petrobras in 2010.
At that time, the oil company received the right to produce up to 5 billion boe in the areas of Florim, Franco, South of Guará, Surrounding Iará, South of Tupi, and Northeast of Tupi, in the Santos cluster. The value of the barrel of oil equivalent was estimated at US$ 8.51, which generated a payment of US$ 42.5 billion by the oil company.

The exploratory work done 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 to be auctioned and would belong to Petrobras. An agreement was necessary because such a situation was not foreseen in the contract (the oil reserves turned out to be much higher than expected).

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
