The Chinese companies CNODC and CNOOC paid R$ 6.82 billion to the Treasury, resulting from the consortium with Petrobras that took the largest block from the auction. Two blocks offered in the auction were not acquired and will go to auction next year.

Later, studies confirmed that there was more oil than expected, which was auctioned in the mentioned mega auction (and purchased by the state company itself).
States and Municipalities will jointly receive R$ 11.73 billion, amounts that will be available in the coffers of regional governments tomorrow, December 31. The amount that Rio will receive is already included in these figures.
