When drilling an artesian well, a farmer wanted water but found oil: ANP confirms that the dark liquid found by a farmer on a site in Ceará is crude oil.
The agreement comes after, last year, the individual production agreements (AIP) for the fields were approved by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
Unitization is necessary when an oil field discovered exceeds the boundaries of the contract for another area, which may belong to the government or be contracted by another consortium.
The approval of the AIPs by the Agency resulted in the “definition of the proportional participations of each company in the shared fields, which requires a rebalancing between revenues and expenses incurred by each party since the beginning of the concession and onerous assignment contracts,” the state company said in a statement.
