This discovery shows that the Campos Basin still has a lot of production capacity beyond the mature fields. A new era for Rio de Janeiro is starting
A Petrobras yesterday (10) it was announced in official communications vehicles that it discovered oil in the pre-salt region known as Marlim Sul, located in the Campos Basin. Known as Poraquê Alto, this deposit is at a depth of around 4.568m. The discovery well is located 115 km offshore in RJ.
This pronouncement was made at the same time that Petrobras released the results for this quarter, with a result lower than 15% or R$316 million, if compared to the previous quarter.
Cheap and profitable discovery
According to Petrobras, the evaluations of the information indicate reservoirs with excellent aspects of porosity and permeability, the oil seems to be of good quality. Petrobras' Director of Exploration and Production, Solange Guedes, said that the production of this asset is extremely favorable, because unlike the pre-salt in the Santos Basin, the Campos Basin already has all the infrastructure ready in the region, making operations very cheap and profitable.
In the current situation, the Campos Basin is in descending production due to the mature fields, but as the state-owned company informed, there will be activities to revitalize these fields, check out the article here. Compared to 2016, the balance of productivity was 6% lower than in the same period in 2017, with 1,352 million against 1,272 million barrels per day.
the turn of the game
[supsystic-social-sharing id='1′]Cities that live exclusively on oil royalties were literally massacred because of this crisis that hit the whole country.
