pre-salt auction

Early this morning, the Amazon court vetoed the pre-salt auctions, but the court has just vetoed the case and everything will continue as normal.

petronews – “The Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region revoked this morning the injunction that suspended the pre-salt auctions. There is great expectation at the Hyatt Hotel, in Rio de Janeiro, until the official documentation arrives and the auction is held. The Minister of Mines and Energy, Fernando Coelho Filho, said that the government now awaits only the publication of the decision to start the auction. “Hopefully it will be soon” he said. With the favorable decision of the TRF, the expectation is that the auction, which attracted the largest oil companies in the world to Brazil, can proceed normally”

The Brazilian pre-salt, which today is the goose that lays the golden eggs of large continental oil companies, is now being disputed for auctions that could yield a subscription portfolio for the government, an amount of around 7 billion reais. ExxonMobil, Petrobras, Statoil, Rapsol and Shell have shown an unusual interest in these assets, which will bring promises of good business and prosperity for the Brazilian oil industry, but also for other bold companies that will be keeping an eye on the auctions, see some below :
