Key highlights
- Exploratory well 1-BRSA-1404DC-RJS in block C-M-477 found hydrocarbons in the pre-salt at 2,984 m water depth, 201 km off Rio de Janeiro.
- Hydrocarbon presence was confirmed by electrical logs, gas shows and fluid sampling.
- Samples will be sent for laboratory analysis to characterize the reservoirs and fluids for further evaluation.
- Petrobras (operator, 70%) and bp (30%) are partners on the block awarded in Brazil's 16th ANP Licensing Round under concession.
Discovery
Petrobras identified hydrocarbons in the pre-salt at well 1-BRSA-1404DC-RJS in the SC-AP4 sector, block C-M-477 of the Campos Basin; the well is 201 km off Rio de Janeiro at 2,984 m water depth.
Confirmation
The hydrocarbon-bearing interval was confirmed by electrical logs, gas shows and fluid sampling.
Analyses and evaluation
Collected samples will be sent to laboratories to characterize reservoir and fluid properties and support further assessment of the area's potential.
Contractual framework
Petrobras is operator with a 70% interest and bp holds 30%; block C-M-477 was awarded in Brazil's 16th ANP Licensing Round under a concession regime.
