Potiguar Basin Has Deal Involving Wintershall Dea and Murphy Oil, and Both Companies Have Already Confirmed Participation in ANP’s 16th Bidding Round

Last week, Click Petroleum and Gas reported that the Basin of Ceará and Potiguar Could Have New Oil Companies Operations. Well, Wintershall confirmed today (10/09) the completion of an agreement for the sale of 30% of its stake in exploratory blocks POT-M-857, POT-M-863, and POT-M-865, all in the Potiguar Basin, to the American Murphy Oil.

Despite the deal, the German Wintershall Dea will retain a 70% stake and the operation of the areas it won for R$ 98.3 million during the 15th bidding round of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), held in 2018.

The member of Wintershall Dea’s Board of Directors responsible for Brazil, Thilo Wieland, spoke about the country’s importance to the oil company, “The transfer of participation in these areas aligns with Wintershall Dea’s strategy to maintain a balanced exploration portfolio. Chosen as a growth region, Brazil plays an important role for the company,” he stated.

Wintershall is awaiting a license for an exploratory well in the POT-M-857 block area, in deep waters of the Potiguar Basin in Rio Grande do Norte. This asset was acquired after a dispute with a consortium formed by Petrobras, Shell, and Petrogal.
Regarding the competition for the other two blocks, POT-M-863 and POT-M-865, Wintershall’s victory was over a consortium formed by Petrobras and Shell.

Wintershall and Murphy Oil will participate in ANP’s 16th bidding round, which takes place tomorrow (10/10) in Rio de Janeiro, with 36 blocks being offered in the auction from seven sectors of five maritime sedimentary basins: Pernambuco-Paraíba, Jacuipe, Camamu-Almada, Campos, and Santos, totaling 29.3 thousand km² of area.

The Buyer

Murphy Oil is already present in Brazil, where it is a partner of Enauta and ExxonMobil in exploration projects in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, where the strong point is natural gas.
The companies are awaiting licenses for 11 exploratory wells in areas acquired in the 13th, 14th, and 15th bidding rounds of the ANP, when the consortium acquired the operation of blocks SEAL-M-351, SEAL-M-428, SEAL-M-430, SEAL-M-501, SEAL-M-503, and SEAL-M-573.

He started running at 66 years old, broke records at 82, and is now a subject of study for having a metabolic age comparable to that of a 20-year-old, in a case that is intriguing scientists and inspiring the world.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.

With a cost per shot close to zero, the DragonFire laser could change naval warfare in 2027 and provide British ships with nearly unlimited defense against drones.

A British startup creates tires that generate electricity in electric vehicles when passing over potholes, speed bumps, and cracks.
