Petróleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras has initiated the process to sell a cluster of 11 onshore production concessions in various cities in the state of Sergipe, onshore Brazil, including access to processing, logistics, storage, transportation and outflow infrastructure for oil and natural gas.
The company started the opportunity disclosure stage (teaser) for sale the Sergipe-Alagoas basin assets, jointly called the Carmópolis cluster (Carmópolis, Aguilhada, Angelim, Aruari, Atalaia Sul, Brejo Grande, Castanhal, Ilha Pequena, Mato Grosso, Riachuelo and Siririzinho), as part of its plan to improve the company’s capital allocation, increasingly concentrating its resources in deep and ultra-deep waters.
The cluster contains almost 3,000 wells in operation, 17 oil treatment stations, a gas station in Carmópolis, 350 km of gas and oil pipelines, and administrative bases of Carmópolis, Siririzinho, and Riachuelo.
The Atalaia cluster, which contains the Aracaju Waterway Terminal (Tecarmo), a NGPU and an oil processing station; the 48.6-km Bonsucesso-Atalaia oil pipeline, which transports oil production from the concessions to Tecarmo; and all production facilities contained in the ring fence of the 11 concessions, in addition to the ownership of some land, are also part of the Carmópolis cluster, the company said.
Average production of the cluster from January to September 2020 was around 10,000 b/d of oil and 73,000 cu m/d of gas. Petrobras is operator with 100% stake.
