The Marlim Hub includes the concessions, Voador, Marlim Leste, and Marlim Sul. According to Petrobras’ report, the state-owned company will remain the operator of the fields.
According to Carlos José Travassos, Executive Manager of Deep Waters, the initiative is far from being a move for Petrobras to exit the Campos Basin. “This is a fundamental requirement for the continuity of our operations in more challenging scenarios. It is just part of the ongoing renewal plan for the Campos Basin, which includes the exploratory campaign for the 14 blocks acquired between 2017 and 2019, occupying an area nearly the size of a new Campos Basin,” says Travassos.

Travassos also states that the revitalization of Marlim involves the interconnection of more than 100 wells to the systems already in operation, complementary development projects, new production systems with the installation of three new FPSOs, the reorganization of flow networks, and the recovery of existing unit integrity. “Establishing a partnership in Marlim allows for the sharing of costs and risks and, of course, opportunities. This move enhances cash generation, important not only for reducing our debt but also for ensuring the investments planned in the Campos Basin renewal plan,” concludes the Executive Manager of Deep Waters.
Petrobras explains in a statement that qualified potential buyers for this phase will receive instructions on the divestment process and that the main subsequent steps of the project will be timely communicated to the market.
This disclosure complies with Petrobras’ internal regulations and the special procedure for the assignment of exploration rights.
