This discovery marks another significant step for TotalEnergies, which had already found oil and gas in 2022, during drilling operations in well 1-TOT-2-RJS, also known as Marolo-1, at a depth of 3,000 meters in the same area.

Exploration work in the Santos Basin is being conducted using the drillship Valaris Renaissance, which plays a key role in the search and identification of resources in the region.
