While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.
Petrobras’ Strategy in Asset Sales
In a Statement Released Today, Petrobras Stated that the Decision to Sell is the Result of ‘an Active Portfolio Management Process’. According to the State-Owned Company, the Fields Currently Represent Less than 1% of the Production Operated by the Company in the Santos Basin and, Therefore, Have Low Strategic Relevance to the Portfolio.
Production of the Uruguá and Tambaú Fields
From January to September 2023, Uruguá and Tambaú Produced 5,400 Barrels/Day of Oil and 353,000 m³/Day of Gas, on Average.
Alternative to Decommissioning
‘The Transfer of Assets to a New Operator Represents an Alternative to Decommissioning, with the Potential to Extend Its Productive Life, While Allowing Petrobras to Direct Its Investments in the E&P Segment to Assets More Aligned with the Company’s Strategy, Which Involves, Among Other Things, the Growing Decarbonization of Operations’, the Company Said in a Statement.
Financial Details of the Transaction
Of the Total Value of the Operation, US$ 3 Million Were Paid by Enauta Today and US$ 7 Million Will Be Paid Upon Closing the Transaction. Another US$ 25 Million Relate to Contingent Payments, Which Depend on Future Brent Quotes and Events Related to the Development of the Assets.
