Petrobras announced the discovery of high-quality oil in a post-salt exploratory well in the Sudoeste de Tartaruga Verde block, Campos Basin, about 108 km off Campos dos Goytacazes (RJ). Well 4-BRSA-1403D-RJS was drilled in water depth of around 734 meters and initial logging, gas indication and fluid sampling confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons.
Petrobras states that reservoir samples will be sent to laboratories for detailed analysis, including fluid characterization and reservoir quality tests, which will support future estimates of productive potential.
Sudoeste de Tartaruga Verde was awarded to Petrobras in September 2018 during Brazil’s 5th Production-Sharing Round, with Petrobras holding 100% operating interest and PPSA acting as contract manager.
Even with strong pre-salt growth, Campos remains a strategic region for upcoming investments, especially where post-salt plays with simpler geology offer shorter cycle times and potential cost reductions.
