𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝘀

𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗿 has applied for three drilling permits in the 𝗦-𝗠-𝟭𝟯𝟳𝟴 block, just outside the Pre-Salt polygon in the Santos Basin. The block was acquired in 2023, during the 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗴𝗲. The Norwegian company also acquired, in the last concession bid round (5th cycle – 2025), the 𝗦-𝗠-𝟭𝟲𝟭𝟳 block, located slightly to the southwest.

This area lies adjacent to 𝗕𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲, where bp recently announced its largest discovery in 25 years. Notably, 𝗦-𝗠-𝟭𝟯𝟳𝟴 is among the blocks farthest from shore, located approximately 353 km offshore.
