According to the state company’s statement, the sale to Petrom resulted from the exercise of the company’s contractual right of first refusal. After meeting all prior conditions, the transaction was completed for the sale amount of US$ 1.5 million, which had already been fully deposited in a guarantee account for the benefit of Petrobras on the date of the signing of the purchase and sale agreement on 05/07/2021.

Onshore Oil Field Is Part of the BT-SEAL-13 Concession Located in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin
