The Federal Government decided to change the rules to auction, for the second time, two major pre-salt fields in the Santos Basin that were stuck in the last bidding. The new auction will take place by the end of the year, strengthening the Union’s coffers.
In 2019, the Atapu and Sépia fields did not receive bids in the mega auction of oil held that year. A virtually unanimous complaint at the time among companies that evaluated participating in the event was not knowing in advance how much they would have to pay Petrobras for the investments already made in these fields.

The Oil Giant Petrobras Returned the Oil Field in the Pre-Salt
The oil company Petrobras fully returned the Peroba oil field in the pre-salt Santos Basin to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) last Thursday (04/15), marking the first return of an area acquired in a production sharing auction.
The Peroba area was acquired in the 3rd Round of bidding for areas of oil exploration in the pre-salt, for a fixed bonus of 2 billion reais, in 2017, by a consortium formed by Petrobras (operator, with a 40% stake), in partnership with Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. (20%); Total E&P do Brasil Ltda (20%); CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gás Ltda. (10%) and CNOOC Petroleum Brasil Ltda (10%), with Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) as the contract manager.
In the winning bid, the consortium offered 76.96% of the oil surplus to the Union, versus a minimum percentage of 13.89%.
In the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, besides Peroba, there were also the oil fields Alto do Cabo Frio Oeste, Uirapuru, and Saturno with low potential.
