Tender Protocol and Models of the concession agreements
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 Tender Protocol of the Open Acreage for exploratory risk blocks and areas with marginal accumulations for granting concession agreement for exploration or rehabilitation and production of oil and natural gas provides the areas on offer, the rules and procedures for participation. The models of concession agreement for exploratory risk blocks and areas with marginal accumulations are an integral part of the Tender Protocol.
Considering that the Open Acreage includes the continuous offer of returned fields and exploratory blocks (or in the process of being returned), as well as exploratory blocks offered in previous rounds and not sold, for the purpose of granting exploration or rehabilitation and production concession contracts of oil and natural gas, its Tender Protocol and Concession Agreements may change over time.
These changes may occur due to the inclusions, exclusions and adjustments of blocks and areas with marginal accumulations available in the offer, as well as improvements to the Tender Protocol and the drafts of the Open Acreage Concession Agreements.
The official version of these documents is in Portuguese and, considering that the notices published in the Official Gazette (DOU) and any other documents do not have an English version, see the files (in Portuguese) on the corresponding Portuguese page: Edital e Modelos dos Contratos de Concessão — Português (Brasil) (www.gov.br).
