Petrobras has confirmed pre-salt oil discoveries in the southeast area of the Buzios field in the Santos Basin and in the Albacora field in the Campos Basin.

POCO 9-BUZ-39DA-RJS

Located in the Southeast area of the Buzios field, in the Santos Basin pre-salt, 210 km from Rio de Janeiro, the well has a water depth of 2,108 meters. This well is currently drilling and has already encountered 208 meters of reservoir, confirming oil with the same quality as the oil produced in the Buzios field. The oil, of excellent quality and compatible with others wells in this field, was proven through tests carried out from 5,400 meters depth.

The Buzios field is covered by the largest seismic data volume of the nodes type in the world, whose technology is among the most modern for the construction of three-dimensional images of high resolution inoil reservoirs, allowing to optimize the productivity and profitability of this field.

Petrobras is the operator (90%) of the consortium in the Buzios field, in partnership with CNOOC (5%) and CNODC (5%). The excess volumes from the Buzios field were acquired at an auction held on November 6, 2019.

Located in the Albacora field, inside the Plano de Avaliacao de Descoberta (PAD) of Forno area, in the Campos Basin pre-salt, 184 km from Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, the well has a water depth of 450 meters. The discovery consists of approx. 214 meters of reservoirs, with the presence of light oil, proven through tests carried out from 4,630 meters depth.

Petrobras is the operator (100%) of the Albacora field and will continue the PAD for this area.
