ANP Auction Brings Together Petrobras, Shell, and Total for Exploration and Production of Excess Volumes from the Production Sharing Agreement in the Atapu and Sépia Fields

The 2nd Auction Round for the Excess of the Production Sharing Agreement in the Atapu and Sépia offshore fields, held on Friday (17) by the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels), sparked mixed reactions in the Brazilian oil and gas market.

Union representatives linked to workers protested against the increasing foreign presence in the sector, considered strategic for the defense of national sovereignty, while oil companies and major fuel distributors assessed the auction result positively for enhancing competitiveness and attracting new investments at a time when the economy is facing a phase of technical recession, inflation, and high unemployment levels. Environmentalists also demonstrated in front of the hotel in Rio de Janeiro where the auction took place. Check out this article in full by clicking here.
