© 2023: Board Approves Participation in Permanent Offer Blocks in West Africa Targeting Upstream Segment.

Petrobras reported that the Board approved the company’s operations in São Tomé and Príncipe, on the west coast of Africa, to facilitate the acquisition of stakes in 3 exploratory blocks through a competitive process conducted by Shell.

The transaction is within the scope of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the CEOs of Petrobras and Shell, Jean-Paul Prates and Wael Sawan, to identify business opportunities between the companies in the upstream segment – such as the joint acquisition of 29 exploratory blocks in the Pelotas Basin in the 4th Cycle of Permanent Offer of Concession that took place on 12/13/2023, demonstrating Petrobras’s expansion in various locations.

New Investments by Petrobras in West Africa

Thus, Petrobras acquired 45% of participation in blocks 10 and 13 and 25% participation in block 11, which represents a significant step towards consolidating the company’s presence in the region.

• Block 10: Shell, operator (40%), Petrobras (45%) and ANP-STP (15%)
• Block 11: Shell, operator (40%), Petrobras (25%), Galp (20%) and ANP-STP (15%)
• Block 13: Shell, operator (40%), Petrobras (45%) and ANP-STP (15%)

This operation marks the resumption of Petrobras’s exploratory activities on the African continent, as part of a portfolio diversification strategy and is aligned with the goal of replenishing oil and gas reserves in the long term.

Strategic Partnerships in Oil and Gas Exploration

The acquisition of the blocks in São Tomé and Príncipe represents a unique opportunity for Petrobras, which seeks to increase its participation in the upstream segment and ensure a permanent offer of concession for new projects.

Furthermore, Petrobras aims to strengthen its strategic partnerships, as demonstrated by the entry into blocks 10, 11, and 13 in São Tomé and Príncipe in partnership with Shell and other operators.

Assurance of Compliance with Petrobras’s Strategic Plan

The entire acquisition process of the blocks in São Tomé and Príncipe was conducted in accordance with Petrobras’s internal procedures and governance, ensuring compliance with its Strategic Plan 2024-2028+ (SP 2024-28+).

The approval of local regulatory bodies is the next step to finalize this transaction, which represents an important milestone for Petrobras and its operations on the west coast of Africa.
