Petrobras on asset sale in Potiguar Basin
—
Rio de Janeiro, December 27, 2021 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. -
Petrobras, following up on the releases disclosed on July 09, 2021
and August 09, 2021, informs that today it signed a contract with
Aguila Energia e Participações Ltda (Aguila) for the assignment,
together with Sonangol Hidrocarbonetos Brasil Ltda (Sonangol), of
the total interest of both companies in the onshore exploratory
block POT-T-794, belonging to the BT-POT-55A concession, located in
the Potiguar Basin, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte.
The sale amount is US$ 750 thousand, being (a) US$ 150 thousand
paid on this date and; (b) US$ 600 thousand to be paid at the
closing of the transaction. The amounts do not consider adjustments
due until the closing of the transaction, which is subject to
compliance with certain conditions precedent, such as approval by
the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP).
This disclosure complies with the Petrobras' internal rules and
with the provisions of the special procedure for assignment of
rights to exploration, development and production of oil, natural
gas and other fluid hydrocarbons, provided for in Decree
9,355/2018.
This transaction is aligned with the company's strategy of
portfolio management and capital allocation improvement, aiming to
maximize value and provide greater return to society. Petrobras is
increasingly concentrating its resources on assets in deep and
ultradeep waters, where it has shown a great competitive
differential over the years, producing better quality oil and lower
greenhouse gas emissions.
About the BT-POT-55A concession
The concession was acquired in 2006 in the 7th Bidding
Round of Blocks held by the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and
Biofuels Agency (ANP). Petrobras holds a 70% stake and Sonangol,
the concession operator, holds the remaining 30% stake.
Two wells have been drilled by the consortium, one was a gas
discovery well and the other was an appraisal well. There are no
remaining Minimum Exploratory Program (MEP) commitments to be
fulfilled.
