Production Fields Are Terrestrial and Maritime, and Petrobras Will Raise US$ 191 Million. Oil Company Will Also Sell Its Stakes in 11 Fields in the Campos Basin

Petrobras announced on Friday (09/08) that it sold 7 fields in RN for US$ 191.1 million, approximately 753 million, to 3R Petroleum.
The production fields are terrestrial and maritime and are called Polo Macau, in the Rio Grande do Norte Basin, which consists of the fields of Aratum, Macau, Serra, Salina Cristal, Lagoa Aroeira, Porto Carão, and Sanhaçu.

The fields of Polo Macau produce about 5,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day and are entirely owned by Petrobras, except for the Sanhaçu field, in which it holds a 50% stake, while the other 50% belongs to Petrogal, controlled by the Portuguese Galp.

The Buyer

3R Petroleum is a Brazilian company that operates in the redevelopment of mature terrestrial fields, and it has financial support from Starboard funds, an alternative investment manager that was advised by CMA (Campos Melo Advogados), the firm that negotiated with Petrobras the structuring of the debt and equity for the Macau polo project.
The sale of fields in Rio Grande do Norte is part of Petrobras’ divestment plan, which will now focus on its core activity of exploring and producing oil and gas in deep waters.

Petrobras also announced the start of a process to sell its stakes in 11 production fields in shallow waters in the Campos Basin.
The fields are called Polo Garoupa, which includes the assets of Anequim, Bagre, Cherne, Congro, Corvina, Malhado, Namorado, Parati, Garoupa, Garoupinha, and Viola.

All the fields are 100% owned by Petrobras, and the average production of the wells over the last 12 months was approximately 19,600 boe/day.
The sale process also includes production and flow facilities up to Barra do Furado.

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.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
