The asset is located 107 km from Cabo de São Tomé (RJ), in water depths ranging from 780 to 2,000 meters.
Petrobras made its first notification of signs of oil last week in block S-M-623; according to the state oil company, the block is located in the Sagittarius prospect.
The discovery occurred at well 3-BRSA-1370-SPS, at a water depth of 1,841 meters, which is being drilled with the rig ODN I.
The resumption of exploratory activity in the region was previously revealed by Repsol, a partner of Petrobras in the venture.
In 2014, the Brazilian state-owned company completed the Sagittarius formation test, which indicated good productivity from the discovery, with 159 meters of pre-salt reservoirs containing high-quality oil (32º API).
Petrobras had expressed interest in being the operator of the Southwest block of Sagittarius, which was auctioned in the 6th Sharing Round last November.
However, the state-owned company gave up on submitting a bid for the area, which was not awarded to any other company.
