According to the announcement issued in June, the delivery of proposals was scheduled for the 19th of next month. The tender is being conducted under the invitation letter regime and carried out by the Libra consortium, made up of the oil companies: Petrobras, Shell, Total, CNOOC and CNPC.

Given this scenario, the Brazilian state-owned company will have a single large bidder in the process, being restricted to SBM.
