Brazilian state-run oil company Petrobras said Jan. 29 that it has discovered hydrocarbons in a presalt area of Campos Basin.
Wildcat well BRSA-1377-RJS, also known as Urissanê, found hydrocarbon in reservoirs in the presalt section, Petrobras said in a news release. Water depth in the area is 2,950 m.
“The well data will be analyzed to better assess the potential and direct the exploratory activities in the area,” Petrobras said in a news release.
Holding a 50% stake, Petrobras is the operator of block C-M-411 where the discovery was made. The company’s partner is Exxon Mobil Corp.
