Petrobras on licensing in Amapá
—
Rio
de Janeiro, May 24, 2023 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras announces that later this week it will file a request with Ibama
to reconsider the decision to deny the environmental license to drill an exploratory well in block FZA-M-059, located in deep waters
in Amapá, in accordance with the procedure provided for in the regulations.
The
company argues that it met the requirements set forth in the reference legislation for the bidding process for block FZA-M-059 and that
it complied with all the technical requirements demanded by Ibama for the project. The emergency response structure proposed by the company
is the largest in the country. Even so, Petrobras is ready to meet any additional demands that may remain.
It
is important to emphasize that the Sedimentary Area Environmental Assessment is a policy instrument under the shared responsibility of
the Ministries of Environment (MMA) and Mines and Energy (MME) according to Interministerial Ordinance No198/2012.
The
Block FZA-M-59, object of the environmental licensing in question, was acquired in the 11th ANP Bidding Round held in May 2013. At the
time, the granting process for the blocks offered was subsidized by the opinions of the GT PEG - Working Group that included Ibama, ICMBIO
and MMA, and considered that the FZA-M-59 block was suitable to be offered and licensed, which leads to the conclusion that the challenges
signaled were all technically surmountable.
From
the concession through a bidding process, Petrobras has a commitment signed with the ANP to drill eight exploratory wells in the Amapá
Deep Waters region, in the Foz do Amazonas sedimentary basin. Refusal on the grounds of environmental unfeasibility may result in litigation
and fines, in addition to compromising the assessment of the region's potential, as well as energy security and the country's own fair
and safe energy transition.
