Petrobras on environmental licensing process
—
Rio de Janeiro, May 18, 2023 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras
informs that it has received news about IBAMA's rejection,
yesterday, of the environmental licensing process for Block
FZA-M-59 in Amapá Águas Profundas. The company also informs that it
has not been officially notified by the agency, and as soon as it
is notified it will formulate a request for reconsideration at the
administrative level.
Petrobras understands that it has strictly followed all the
requirements of the licensing process and all the resources
mobilized in Amapá and Pará for the Pre-Operational Assessment
(simulated to test the emergency response plans) were done strictly
in accordance with IBAMA's decisions and approvals.
The development of this block is a commitment made by Petrobras to
the ANP, which will incur a contractual fine if it is not carried
out.
The company remains committed to the development of the Brazilian
Equatorial Margin, recognizing the importance of new frontiers to
ensure the country's energy security and the resources needed for a
fair and sustainable energy transition. To supply Brazil's future
demand for oil, the country will have to look for new sources in
addition to the pre-salt.
In this sense, Petrobras is making efforts to obtain the drilling
license in the Potiguar Basin, as planned in its Strategic Plan
2023-27, as well as the execution of exploration projects planned
in Brazil and abroad.
As a result of this decision, the rig and the other resources
mobilized in the region of Block FZA-M-59 in the next few days will
be directed to the company's activities in the Southeastern
Basins.
Petrobras reaffirms that the well that is the object of this
licensing is located 175 kilometers off the coast of Amapá and more
than 500 kilometers away from the mouth of the Amazon River.
