Petrobras’s Appetite for Two Pre-Salt Areas is Fueled by the Cessão Onerosa Mega Auction, and Its President Expresses Optimism

Petrobras asserted its right to express interest in the purchase of two areas in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin and stated early today (10/29) that the company “will enter to win.” Last week, the company declared that it will use the bonus from the onerous concession to purchase other wells in the same auction.
The statement came from Petrobras’s president, Roberto Castello Branco, who made sure to express all his enthusiasm about the mega auction that could yield R$ 106 billion just in signing bonuses for the union.

The areas that Petrobras will attempt to acquire are the assets of Búzios and Atapu, and the president of the state-owned company stated that the Búzios field is the “largest deposit ever discovered” in the Brazilian pre-salt.
Castello Branco also mentioned that currently, due to the company’s financial situation, all projects have their economic viability evaluated and end up competing with each other to become effective or not.

The Mega Auction

The mega auction will take place next week, on November 6, and will auction four oil fields in the Campos Basin, Atapu, Búzios, Itapu, and Sépia.

The onerous concession agreement was signed in 2010, where Petrobras and the Union agreed that Petrobras would pay for the right to explore 5 billion barrels from the pre-salt in the Santos Basin.
Since the excess contractually belonged to Petrobras, an agreement with the union was necessary, as such a sale was not foreseen in the contract (the oil reserves turned out to be much higher than anticipated).

14 companies registered for the auction of the excess from the onerous concession, they are: BP, Chevron, CNOOC, CNODC, Ecopetrol, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Petrogal, Petrobras, Petronas, QPI, Shell, Total, and Wintershall DEA.

The Mega Auction

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

A R$11.9 billion train that promises to revolutionize mobility in São Paulo and make trips of about 1 hour gains new progress with the inclusion of another city in the project.

The reactors of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford produce 600 megawatts and could power an entire city.

As if a faucet had been opened in the ocean, warm water begins to reach Antarctica, breaks through the natural protection of the ice shelves, and intrigues scientists about the upcoming impacts on the global climate.

Brazil enters the era of engineered wood buildings alongside Canada, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, betting on a technology that promises faster construction, fewer emissions, and fire resistance that challenges concrete and steel.

War in Iran causes China to sell solar panels like never before, pushing 68 gigawatts to the world in just one month, while Middle Eastern oil becomes a global headache for suppliers desperate for alternatives.

Civil Defense issued a storm alert with risk of flooding in Santa Catarina, and intense rain may hit the state between Tuesday and Wednesday with wind gusts and hail.

Climate records from trees, corals, sediments, and caves show that the current warming is the only one in the last 2,000 years to affect the entire planet at the same time and advance faster than any natural change ever recorded, something that did not occur even during the Medieval Warm Period.

The planet registered 420 water conflicts in 2024, the highest number ever documented, and the dispute over rivers like the Nile, Colorado, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus, and Mekong exposes a race for dams that downstream countries already see as a threat of hydrological war.
