RIO DE JANEIRO, July 26 -- Brazil's National Petroleum Agency (ANP) has set the country's eighth exploration licensing round for Nov. 28 in Rio de Janeiro, ANP said July 26.
ANP said it is offering as much as 400,000 sq km for exploration and production—nearly double the acreage offered when the round was originally set for August.
