PetroRio Announces ANP Approval for Drilling Four Production Wells and Three Horizontal Injector Wells in the Campos Basin

Last Thursday (06/24), PetroRio presented a development plan for the Frade Field, approved by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). PetroRio’s plan provides for the drilling of four production wells and three horizontal injector wells in the Frade Field, located in the Campos Basin.

The Plan Approved by ANP in the Campos Basin

The revised Development Plan for the Frade Field, located in the Campos Basin, will allow for the drilling of four production wells and three horizontal injector wells in the field. In the same decision, the ANP authorized the immediate resumption of water injection in two existing injector wells until the new injector wells commence operations (or for one year).

The first phase of the Frade Field Revitalization Plan will include the drilling of one production well and two injector wells, scheduled to begin between Q4 2021 and Q1 2022. After the completion of this phase approved by the ANP, PetroRio intends to start the development of Wahoo.

Agency Approves Purchase of Wahoo and Itaipu Fields by PetroRio in Pre-Salt in the Campos Basin

Last week, PetroRio announced that the National Agency of Petroleum approved the assignment of 35.7% stakes in Block BM-C-30, or Wahoo Field, and 60% in Block BM-C-32 (or Itaipu Field) to PetroRio, making it the operator of both pre-salt fields located in the Campos Basin.

With the ANP’s approval, PetroRio becomes the operator of both fields located in the pre-salt. The company states that it expects to create a second production cluster by connecting Wahoo to Frade, “continuing the strategy of operational optimization of its assets.”

On Monday (06/14), the Government of Rio de Janeiro and the ANP – National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels – signed a cooperation agreement to enhance the oversight of royalty payments and special participations on oil and gas production in the state.

In a press release, the Government of Rio de Janeiro clarified that the agreement with the ANP defines parameters to improve the methodology for overseeing the compensatory revenues from oil and gas exploration in Rio. The State Department of Finance (Sefaz-RJ) estimates that the state of Rio de Janeiro may have lost around R$ 10 billion in special participation revenue over the last ten years.

The execution of the agreement between the ANP and the government of Rio de Janeiro fulfills a determination of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and occurs amid the actions of the Parliamentary Inquiry Commission (CPI) established by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) in March regarding the drop in oil revenue collection recorded in early 2021. In the first two months, the state’s royalty and special participation collection totaled R$ 2.57 billion, about R$ 800 million less than that collected in the same period of 2020.
