Petrobras Confirms New Oil Discovery in Santos Basin
Petrobras has confirmed the presence of high-quality, contaminant-free oil in well 3-BRSA-1396D-SP, located in the Aram block of the Santos Basin. The well, drilled at a water depth of 1,952 meters, revealing a promising oil-bearing interval through electric logs, gas evidence, and fluid sampling.
Laboratory analyses will follow to further assess the reservoir’s characteristics and production potential, a critical step in defining the commercial viability of the asset.
“The Aram block has been operated by Petrobras since 2020, with the Oil Company holding an 80% stake in partnership with CNPC, which owns the remaining 20%. This marks the second discovery in the block since March, further highlighting the Oil Company’s unmatched ability to lead new discoveries and projects in Brazil. Petrobras’ human and technical resources are truly remarkable.”, says Anidio Corrêa, R&D Environment Projects Lead.
