Petrobras, ExxonMobil identify hydrocarbons offshore Brazil

Petróleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) will analyze well data to assess the potential of a hydrocarbon discovery at a Block C-M-411 well in the Campos basin presalt. The data will also be used to direct exploratory activities in the area.

Well 1-BRSA-1377-RJS (Urissanê) lies some 200 km from the coast of Rio de Janeiro in water depth of 2,950 m.

Petrobras is operator of the block under a 50-50 partnership with ExxonMobil Exploração Brasil Ltda. (50%) (OGJ Online, Sept. 28, 2017).
