Petrobras has identified the presence of hydrocarbons in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin , in an exploratory well drilled in Sector SC-AP4 of the Campos Basin, block CM-477 . The well 1-BRSA-1404DC-RJS is located 201 km off the coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro , at a water depth of 2,984 meters.
The hydrocarbon-bearing interval was confirmed through electrical logs, gas indications, and fluid sampling. The samples will subsequently undergo laboratory analysis, which will allow for the characterization of the reservoir and fluid conditions encountered, enabling further evaluation of the area's potential. The well drilling was completed safely, respecting the environment and people.
Petrobras' activity in block CM-477, in the Campos Basin, is aligned with the strategy of replenishing oil and gas reserves through operations in frontier exploration areas, in partnership with other companies, ensuring the supply of national energy demand during the energy transition.
Petrobras is the operator of block CM-477 (70% stake), in partnership with bp (30% stake). The block originated from the 16th Bidding Round of the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels), under a concession regime.
