Petrobras obtained, on Friday (April 4, 2025), the license from the Amapá State Secretary of the Environment to begin operation of a Fauna Care and Rehabilitation Unit in Oiapoque, located on the Brazilian equatorial margin.

The structure is part of the set of environmental measures required in the licensing process for the offshore drilling project on the Amapá coast. The facility operates as a specialized care center, with a clinic, stabilization rooms, a surgical center, and spaces focused on the rehabilitation of species such as birds, sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and other aquatic mammals.

Unit Complements Petrobras’ Environmental Response Plan

Moreover, the installation in Oiapoque is still awaiting a technical inspection by Ibama, necessary before the official start of activities. Petrobras reported that the space will be available for inspection starting this Monday, April 7, 2025.

This measure is part of a broader protocol adopted by the company to enable safe and environmentally responsible exploration in the region. However, so far, there is no official confirmation regarding the start date for the well drilling.

According to Brazil 247, the project is also part of the state-owned company’s preparations for future operations on the equatorial margin.
This region, in turn, is considered promising due to its high oil potential.
