Posted by After five months of drilling, the company reported oil and gas shows on the well 1-TOT-2-RJS (Marolo), located in Campos ultradeep waters. The company also has another well licensed further south on the same block, called Ubaia.
The block C-M-501 was acquired in the 16th bid round (2019) by TotalEnergies (operator) with partners QatarEnergy and PETRONAS for BRL 4 billion. This is the biggest block on the area beyond the pre-salt polygon, and Marolo also has one of the deepest water depths ever drilled in Brazil, around 3000 meters.
