Minister Of The Environment Claims That Decision On Petrobras Request To Explore Oil In The Called Foz Do Amazonas Depends On Technical Conclusion.

Who would have thought that Petrobras’ saga to explore oil in the called Foz do Amazonas would be close to a conclusion? Indeed, the Minister of Environment, Marina Silva, stated this Monday (30) that the decision on the license request will be made as soon as the technical area completes its analysis.

“Licensing is a technical process. The technical area has its time to perform the analysis, and at the right time, they make their statements based on technical grounds”, said Marina, after attending a parallel G20 event on finance in environmental sustainability.

Petrobras Has Been Awaiting Since 2023 To Explore Oil In The Region

Petrobras has been awaiting, since 2023, the license from the Environmental Agency (Ibama) to explore oil in the area near Amapá, part of the so-called Equatorial Margin. After an initial denial from the environmental agency, the oil company appealed, but has not yet received a new decision.
