Notice:

According to Board Resolution No. 754/2023, the Tender Protocol of Open Acreage of Concession (OPC) and the Tender Protocol of Open Acreage of Production Sharing (OPP) are revoked.

We highlight that the present revocation of the tender protocols only affects future cycles, and does not affect the schedule and the next stages of the 4th Cycle of the Open Acreage of Concession and the 2nd Cycle of the Open Acreage of Production Sharing, including the qualification of bidders winners, the award and approval of the result and the signing of contracts.

The Marginal Accumulations Oil Fields selected for the Open Acreage Concession Offer are located on mature sedimentary basins and have the purpose of offering opportunities and expand the participation of small and medium-size companies in the exploration or rehabilitation and production of oil and gas into densely explored basins, allowing the continuity of these activities in the regions where they play an important socio-economic role.

Marginal Accumulations Oil Fields under study

There are 15 areas under study with marginal accumulations located in 5 onshore basins: Espírito Santo, Potiguar, Recôncavo, Sergipe-Alagoas and Tucano Sul.

The areas with marginal accumulations under study will be available for the Open Acreage as soon as the studies and evaluations are completed, their respective environmental opinions are issued and after a public hearing is held.
