The teaser, which contains the main information about the opportunity, as well as the eligibility criteria for selecting potential participants, is available on Petrobras’ website: https://investidorpetrobras.com.br/pt/resultados-e-comunicados/teasers.

The main subsequent stages of the project will be communicated to the market in due course.

This disclosure is in accordance with Petrobras’ divestment guidelines and with the provisions of the special procedure for the assignment of exploration, development, and production rights for oil, natural gas, and other fluid hydrocarbons, as provided for in Decree 9,355/2018.
This operation aligns with the optimization of the portfolio and the better allocation of the company’s capital, aiming to maximize value for our shareholders.

About the Exploration Blocks
The BM-P-2 Concession is located in deep waters of the Pelotas Basin at a water depth between 1,000 m and 2,000 m, having been acquired by Petrobras (100% interest) in 2004 in the 6th Round of Bids by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). Total became a partner by acquiring a 50% interest in 2013.

Currently, the concession includes the exploration blocks P-M-1269, P-M-1271, P-M-1351, and P-M-1353 and is strategically positioned in relation to the 18th Round of Bids by the ANP, scheduled for 2021, in which blocks from the Pelotas Basin are expected to be selected. This concession has a low exploratory commitment with the potential to prove significant volumes and establish a position in a new exploratory frontier.
