I want to reiterate not only our presence in the state but also our commitment to increasingly support oil exploration projects in Espírito Santo,” said Roberto.
The P-71 was originally scheduled for the Tupi field, which will have a new development plan agreed upon with the partners in the venture, Shell (25% participation) and Petrogal (10%).
