The Mero and Sapinhoá Fields Went to Petrobras, While the French Company Took the Lula Field in This Friday’s Auctions

Petrobras and Total jointly acquired 3 lots of pre-salt oil belonging to the Union in the auction conducted by PPSA, which took place today (Friday) in São Paulo. Brazil’s state oil company secured 3 years of production from Sapinhoá and Mero. The French operator holds 1 year of production related to the Lula field.

According to the Union, the Mero Field area is expected to produce about 10.6 million barrels of oil in fixed volume for the institution. For Sapinhoá, the estimated quantity in the same timeframe is 600 thousand barrels of oil. Total will have to provide 1.1 million barrels from its production during the Lula Field period.

Four oil companies participated in these PPSA auctions: Petrobras, Shell, Repsol Sinopec, and Total. It is noteworthy that Pré-Sal Petróleo (PPSA) is a non-dependent Brazilian state company.

Petrobras States It Will Make a Profit This Quarter

The new president of Petrobras, Ivan Monteiro, presents the estimated results for the next quarter as the best in terms of profit for the state company since the onset of Operation Lava-Jato. The predominant factor is the rising dollar, making the national oil price competitive and definitively exiting the crisis that has been plaguing Brazil for four years.
