In December 2013, Dommo Energia began oil production at the Tubarão Martelo field. Production at the asset is being carried out through the FPSO OSX-3 and, by 2018, produced over 15 million barrels of oil.

With the acquisition, PetroRio becomes the dominant operator of the concession, holding an 80% stake and promising to extend the economic life of the field until 2035.

In addition to purchasing the rights to the field, PetroRio also announced in February this year the acquisition of the Oil and Gas Production, Storage, and Transfer Unit FPSO OSX-3 for a total value of US$ 140 million.

The company has committed to taking on all operational costs and investment commitments of Dommo Energia.

Integrated Project of PetroRio in the Campos Basin

PetroRio intends to carry out projects seeking to integrate the Tubarão Martelo and Polvo fields, both assets located in the Campos Basin, estimating an investment of approximately US$ 45 million.

After the interconnection of the Tubarão Martelo and Polvo oil fields, expected in mid-2021, PetroRio will hold a 95% stake in the new integrated producing hub; and Dommo will hold the remaining 5%.
