Shell’s Discovery Reinforces The Potential Of The Campos Basin For Natural Gas Production.

Shell has discovered new indications of natural gas during the drilling of well 1-SHEL-36-RJS, located in block C-M-659, in the Campos Basin. The notification was sent to the National Agency of Petroleum (ANP), highlighting that the drilling took place in a water depth of 2,916 meters. This discovery reinforces the potential of the Campos Basin as one of the main areas for natural gas exploration in Brazil.

Drilling And Discovery History In The Campos Basin

The drilling of the well is being conducted by the drillship DS-15, from Valaris. This is the second indication of natural gas identified by Shell in block C-M-659.

In August 2023, the company had already found signs of hydrocarbon presence in well 1-SHEL-35A-RJS.

The Campos Basin continues to be a strategic region for natural gas exploration, attracting significant investments from companies in the sector.

Block C-M-659 was acquired by Shell in October 2019, during the 16th Bidding Round, for R$ 714 million.

Shell leads operations in the area with a 40% stake, in partnership with Chevron (35%) and QPI (25%).

Development Plan And Environmental Licensing

Shell has an environmental license to drill up to six wells in block C-M-659, with one firm well and five contingent wells.

The company has also received authorization to conduct up to four formation tests in the region.

The commitment to environmental regulations and operational safety reinforces Shell’s position in the exploration of natural gas in the Campos Basin.
