After Announcing Its Drilling Schedule, Total Will Mobilize Offshore Units Still in 2018 to Begin Hiring and Drilling in the Following Months

Total Submitted to Ibama an Update on the Drilling Project Schedule for Nine Wells in the Area of the Five Exploratory Blocks It Acquired in the Foz do Amazonas Basin in ANP’s 11th Round, Held in 2013. The Company Plans to Start Mobilizing the DS-9 Rig, from Ensco, in the Third Quarter of This Year to Begin Drilling the First Well in the First Quarter of 2019.

The Oil Company’s Plan Foresees Two Wells in 2019, Three in 2020, and Another Four in 2021. There Is a Possibility of Using Two Rigs in the Campaign, but It Is Extremely Remote, Warns the Company. “The Company Informs That the Possibility of Using a Second Rig for Simultaneous Drilling Activity Is Extremely Remote and Only Envisions It Could Occur at the End of the Exploratory Campaign. Still, Both the Impact Assessment and the Risk Analysis Presented Already Consider, When Relevant, the Scenario of Two Rigs Operating Simultaneously,” Says the Company in the Document Submitted to Ibama.

The Planning Was Presented by the Oil Company Along with a Series of Documents After a Meeting Held at the Environmental Agency in January for the Presentation of the Monitoring Program for the Foz do Amazonas. The Project Was One of the Items Rejected by Ibama in August Last Year When the Environmental License for the Campaign Was Not Issued.
