About the Tayrona Oil Block for Sale by Petrobras
Petrobras is the operator of the area, with a 44.44% stake in the concession through its affiliate PIB-BV, which is a partner of Ecopetrol in the asset.
Ecopetrol may exercise its right of first refusal for Petrobras’ stake in the asset, as provided in the agreement between the parties, the Brazilian state-owned company added. According to the company, the concession is in a subsequent exploratory program and has “potential to demonstrate significant volumes of gas.”
The concession is currently in the Subsequent Exploratory Program 1 (PEP1) phase and has a reduced exploratory commitment to be fulfilled, with potential to demonstrate significant volumes of gas (world-class prospects) and establish a position in a new frontier area. The area shows similarities to discoveries along the margins of the South Atlantic and Caribbean.
