The municipality of Macaé, which was recently recognized in Brazil as the oil capital, welcomed this news very well, as the city is home to many companies in the oil sector.

The news resonated in the Federal Chamber, and Congressman Christino Áureo (PP), who chairs the Sustainable Development Committee for Oil and Renewable Energies, stated: “This will be an important step for job creation, as the region will receive significant investment.

Petrobras – Divestment from One, Investment in Another

As is widely known, Petrobras is undergoing a significant divestment program, and the 10 contracts referenced in this article are part of this package and are located in the Pampo and Anchova hubs, specifically in the fields of Badejo, Bicudo, Bonito, Enchova Oeste, Enchova, Linguado, Marimbá, Pampo, Piraúna, and Trilha. 

Macaé expects to attract approximately US$ 1 billion in private investment in these fields, aiming for an increase of 203.5 million barrels of oil in production from these shallow water areas in the Campos Basin, which according to the ANP, has decreased by 50% in production over the last 10 years.
