The Program, Known as Promar, Seeks Solutions for the Revitalization and to Stimulate the Continuity of Production in Mature Offshore Fields, Says MME
The Ministry of Mines and Energy – MME launched the Revitalization and Production Incentive Program for Offshore Fields, called “Promar”. The goal is to extend the lifespan of pre-salt oil fields and stimulate the economic recovery of the oil and gas industry in mature fields, such as the Campos Basin in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
Objective of the Program for Revitalization of Offshore Fields
Promar aims to increase oil recovery, create jobs, maintain local goods and services, and create better conditions for the economic exploration of oil and gas. The program launched by MME is modeled after the Revitalization Program for Oil and Natural Gas Exploration and Production Activities in Onshore Areas (Reate).
After years of petroleum and natural gas exploitation, mature offshore oil fields have begun to produce less and less. However, with the installed infrastructure and exposed reservoirs, mature oil fields offer the opportunity to extract remaining oil and natural gas with a lower investment than new oil fields, thus the program can revitalize these offshore fields.

The Revitalization of the Campos Basin According to MME
According to MME – Ministry of Mines and Energy, the reason for the creation of the plan was the decline in production from post-salt, and the so-called mature fields are mainly located in the Campos Basin and have been considered the main sedimentary area. Explore the coast of Brazil. The basin has an area of approximately 100,000 square kilometers and extends from around the city of Vitória (ES) to Arraial do Cabo on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro.
