The sales operations of land fields in RN by Petrobras total US$ 582.3 million to date.
In the market announcement, the company highlights that “the oil production from the Ponta do Mel and Redonda fields in the first half of 2019 totaled about 540 bbl/day.”
The discoveries of these fields, made in 1984 and 1987, were the result of service contracts for oil exploration with a risk clause (the so-called “Risk Contracts”), currently held by Central Resources.
Through these contracts, the contracting company explored the delineated areas, at its own risk, and due to oil discoveries, acquired the right to receive from Petrobras a financial interest in the net results of the fields.”
Central Resources do Brasil Produção de Petróleo is an oil and gas operator linked to the Central Resources Group, focused on the redeveloping of mature land fields. It currently performs oil operations in Rio Grande do Norte and Espírito Santo.
According to Petrobras, the closing of the transaction is subject to the fulfillment of precedent conditions, such as approval by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
