In December 2017, the Brazilian state-owned company announced the sale of the Mero field in the Libra block, the first area of production sharing in the country’s pre-salt.
The Mero field is located in the Libra block, operated by a consortium led by Petrobras (with 40%) and including multinational companies Shell (20%), Total (20%), CNODC (10%), and CNOOC (10%). The area was auctioned by the Brazilian government in 2013, under a production sharing contract.
