Posted by Last week, August 12th, Petrobras notified gas shows on the block C-M-346 (operated in partnership with ExxonMobil) after almost 3 months of drilling. This is the company’s third HC notification in 2021 – others being the Urissanê prospect in Campos and the well 1-BRSA-1379D-ESS in Espírito Santo – and the second from the Petrobras–ExxonMobil 50/50 consortium, which acquired several blocks outside the pre-salt polygon in Campos on the 14th Bid Round.
A little further south, it has been a week since the vessel West Saturn moved from the Opal prospect to Titã (ExxonMobil with partner Qatar Petroleum), in order to drill the company’s second wildcat on their on-going drilling campaign. A third well is expected to be drilled in Sergipe-Alagoas (ExxonMobil with partners Enauta and Murphy Oil Corporation).
