Petrobras has identified the presence of excellent quality oil in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin, in an exploratory well drilled in the Marlim Sul field. Well 3-BRSA-1397-RJS is located 113 km off the coast in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ, at a water depth of 1,178 meters.
The oil-bearing interval was confirmed through electrical logs, gas indications, and fluid sampling. The samples will subsequently be sent for 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' operations in the Campos Basin aim to replenish oil reserves in mature areas, ensuring the company's sustainability and meeting national energy demand during this period of energy diversification.
The Marlim Sul field was discovered in November 1987 through well 4-RJS-382. Petrobras is the operator of the field with a 100% stake.
