BM-SEAL-4 is one of four blocks that Petrobras has for sale in Sergipe-Alagoas, alongside BM-SEAL-4A, BM-SEAL-10, and BM-SEAL-11.
The curiosity about this fact lies in the fact that the Brazilian oil company is the operator of block BM-SEAL-4 and is selling a 35% stake in its share of the area, which is 75%.
This is the sixth discovery made in the asset. The first, of gas, dates back to May 2012; the second (oil), from December of the same year; the third (gas), from September 2014; the fourth (oil), from May 2015; and the fifth (gas and oil), from April of this year.
Now in its third period, the minimum exploratory program (PEM) of BM-SEAL-4 plans to drill three wells. The Discovery Assessment Plan (PAD) for the asset expires in December 2020.
