The Brazilian oil and gas giant, Petrobras, identified the presence of hydrocarbons in a well in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin

Petrobras informed in a material fact this morning, January 29, that it identified the presence of hydrocarbons in a pioneer oil well in the CM-411 block, located in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin, in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
