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 Ecopetrol's partner in the asset.
Ecopetrol will be able to exercise preemptive rights for Petrobras' share of the asset, as provided for in an agreement between the parties, added the Brazilian state-owned company. According to the company, the concession is in a subsequent exploratory program and has “the potential to prove significant volumes of gas”.
The concession is in the Post Exploratory Program 1 (PEP1) phase and has a small exploratory commitment to be fulfilled, with the potential to prove significant volumes of gas (world class prospects) and establish a position in a new frontier area. The area is similar to discoveries on the shores of the South Atlantic and Caribbean.
