Brazil’s state-run oil company Petróleo Brasileiro (Petrobras) is selling nine small, shallow-water oilfields in the states of Ceará and Sergipe.
The company already started the process of transferring rights of oil and natural gas exploration, development and production in these fields.
The nine concessions being offered reported an average production of 13,000bpd of oil equivalent last year, which represent 0.5% of Petrobras’s total production.
Petrobras grouped these fields into production complexes, with integrated installations, in a bid to provide new concessionaires with full operating conditions.
The concessionaires are Caioba, Camorim, Dourado, Guaricema e Tatuí in Sergipe and Curimã, Espada, Atum e Xaréu in Ceará.
The company plans to carry out the sale process in a competitive manner and will also evaluate the terms and conditions of the proposals that have been received.
