Understanding the Case

The case originated from a popular action filed by lawyer Karina Pichsenmeister Palma, a partner at Gama Advogados in Porto Alegre.

In 2015, the action’s allegation was that although it is common to name oil fields after marine animals, the change at the time had a clear intention to honor the former President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The action was accepted by Federal Judge Marga Inge Barth Tessler, of the 4th Regional Federal Court, who ruled: it was proven, in the records, that the administrative act that named the oil field (public property) ‘Campo de Lula’ aimed at the personal promotion of a living person (the President of the Republic at the time the act was performed). In this context, the act should be annulled, considering the vice/derivation in purpose in the practice of the act.

Petrobras did not want to comment on the sentence and has not yet stated whether the oil field will return to being called Tupi or receive another name.

The Lula Field is an oil field located in the Santos Basin about 230 km off the coast of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro in water depths of approximately 2,200 m.

Discovered in 2006, it is the first supergiant field in Brazil, a designation given to fields with more than five billion barrels of recoverable volume, and today it is considered the field with the highest production volume in the country.
