Petrobras Confirms Oil in Sudoeste de Tartaruga Verde Well Off Brazil

Samples now go to laboratories to determine reservoir quality.

Overview

  • Drilling of well 4-BRSA-1403D-RJS in the Campos Basin has been completed 108 kilometers off Campos dos Goytacazes at 734 meters of water depth.
  • Initial electrical logs, gas indications and fluid sampling confirmed the presence of oil in the post-salt section.
  • Collected materials are being analyzed to characterize the reservoir and to estimate potential production from the area.
  • Petrobras operates the block with a 100% stake after acquiring it in the 2018 5th Production Sharing Round, with PPSA as contract manager.
  • The scale and commercial viability remain under evaluation, and the Campos Basin continues to be a strategic hub for Brazilian output.
