Petrobras found signs of oil in the Santos Basin, Brazilian pre-salt. The hydrocarbon was located in the Uirapuru block, in well 1-BRSA-1373B-SPS, at a depth of almost 2 thousand meters (1,995 m). The well began its drilling operations in December 2019, using the drillship West Tellus.

The Uirapuru block was acquired with considerable competition in the 4th Round of Sharing, held in 2018. The area received four bids from oil companies. The winner was formed by the consortium Equinor (28%), ExxonMobil (28%), and Petrogal (14%), surpassing the offer made by Petrobras, BP, and Total.
