The oil and gas wells that were auctioned by Shell in the 16th round of bidding from the National Agency of Petroleum (ANP) had their licensing process at Ibama opened shortly after the signing of the concession contracts on Friday morning (15) at the agency’s headquarters.

With up to 6 licensed exploratory wells for oil and gas in the block C-M-659 of the pre-salt of the Campos Basin, the oil company Shell may also conduct up to four formation tests.

In the block C-M-713, the oil company may drill three exploratory wells and foresees the possibility of conducting up to two formation tests at the same location.

The exploration campaigns for the oil and gas blocks are scheduled to take place between 2022 and 2024, during which the company will allocate its logistics base to support them between Rio de Janeiro, Niterói, São João da Barra, or Vila Velha.

In the second half of last year, Ibama granted Shell the license to drill up to three exploratory wells in the Alto de Cabo Frio Oeste block in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

The company acquired the Alto de Cabo Frio Oeste oil field in the third round of pre-salt auctions held in 2017.

Shell is the operator of the area, with a 55% stake, and is partnered with CNOOC (20%) and QPI (25%).

The Brava Star drilling rig from Constellation was used for the drilling of the Gato do Mato well, also in the pre-salt (2nd sharing round), and a producing well in Argonauta (BC-10), in the Parque das Conchas, Campos Basin.
