Petrobras (PETR4) Closes Sale Agreement for All Uruguá and Tambaú Fields to Enauta (ENAT3) for Up to US$ 35 Million. Agreements, Contracts, and Future Brent Quotations.
Petrobras (PETR4) completed negotiations on Thursday (21) by signing a sale agreement with Enauta (ENAT3) regarding the Uruguá and Tambaú fields in the Santos Basin. The total value of the transaction may reach US$ 35 million, with US$ 3 million paid today and US$ 7 million at closing, in addition to up to US$ 25 million in contingent payments. The fields represent less than 1% of the production operated by Petrobras in the Santos Basin, justifying the divestment given the low adherence strategically they represent.
The divestment allows Petrobras to direct resources to assets more aligned with its strategy, including the growing decarbonization of operations. Furthermore, the company reported that employees involved in the operation of the fields will be reassigned to other operations within the company in the Santos Basin business unit. The BS-500 concession, where the fields are located, was acquired through ANP’s Zero Round and is situated in the northern portion of the Santos Basin, between 140 and 160 km off the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Petrobras Negotiation for Divestment of Uruguá and Tambaú Fields
Petrobras’ negotiation for divestment of the Uruguá and Tambaú fields is ongoing, with the company seeking a deal for the transaction. The sale of these assets is part of Petrobras’ strategy to divest from certain non-core assets, aiming to reduce its debt and focus on higher return areas. The contracts for chartering the platforms operating in these fields are nearing expiration, and Petrobras is looking to negotiate the decommissioning of the units and all related operations.
