The oil exploration and production projects in the Amazon River Mouth Basin are unique and have shown great demand for data and information from Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources). After the decision to deny the drilling license for Total, still in 2018, the oil company was forced to restart the environmental licensing process for drilling wells in the Amazon.
