With Preemptive Rights, Petrobras Chose Three of the Eight That Will Be Auctioned in the 2nd Half of 2017

Petrobras, which is no fool, has already taken the lead and chosen the three most productive areas of pre-salt in the country out of a total of eight. But this is not unconstitutional; on the contrary, there is a law that allows it to have preference over any asset of its choice, regardless of who will win the other consortia, provided its minimum participation is 30%. The areas it selected are:

Sapinhoá
Peroba
Alto de Cabo Frio

Sapinhoá belongs to the second bidding round, while the areas of Peroba and Cabo Frio Central still belong to the third round, which will likely take place on October 27 of this year.

The estimated investment amount for Petrobras, assuming it maintains this 30% stake, will be around R$810 million.

About the Areas Petrobras Secured

Sapinhoá is a region that is already fully operational. It also ranks second in terms of size and daily oil production, reaching a mark of 253 barrels every day. Petrobras, Shell, and Repsol are operating in it.
Peroba is the most productive area, located not far from the Lula Field, about fifty kilometers away. Petrogal and Shell also operate this area alongside Petrobras, of course.
Alto do Cabo Frio Central is a hydrocarbon site with limited exploration, but with monstrous potential, as technical studies indicate that this area is the largest ever discovered in national territory.

Still struggling with the crisis, Petrobras hopes that these bids will help restore its name and prestige in the international market, with some local content issues and the political crisis affecting the country still to be resolved.

About the Areas Petrobras Secured

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.
