Binding Phase Started for Sale of Tartaruga Field by Petrobras; Potential Buyers of This Offshore Asset Will Receive a Process Letter
The Brazilian oil company Petrobras has started the binding phase for the sale of all its stake in the shallow water Tartaruga field, located in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, offshore Brazil. This operation is aligned with Petrobras’ divestment process of onshore and shallow water assets to focus its resources on deep and ultra-deep waters.

At the end of June, Petrobras initiated the opportunity disclosure stage, commonly known as a teaser, for the sale of the Tartaruga field, intending to divest all of its stake in the field, along with the existing integrated facilities.
Petrobras holds a 25% stake, while Maha Energy, the operator of the field, holds the remaining 75%. The transaction also included the option to enter into a crude oil purchase and sale agreement with Petrobras and a gas purchase and sale agreement with Maha. This type of deal would allow the buyer to sell what they produce.
