What is at stake in the 14th round

One of the main novelties of the 14th round of bids is the withdrawal of national content as a requirement. 287 blocks will be offered in 29 sectors of 9 sedimentary basins, totaling an area of ​​122,622.40 square kilometers.

Offshore, 110 blocks will be offered, distributed in the Campos, Espírito Santo, Santos and Sergipe-Alagoas basins. Onshore, 177 blocks will be offered in the Espírito Santo, Paraná, Parnaíba, Potiguar, Recôncavo and Sergipe-Alagoas basins.

According to the ANP, supply in high potential basins, new frontiers and mature basins allows opportunities for large, medium and small companies to participate in the exploration and production of oil and gas in the country.

Assuming all blocks are sold without premium, the bonus raised with the auction would be approximately R $ 1.69 billion.

Companies that meet the requirements of the announcement and have registration approved by the Special Bidding Commission may submit offers only for blocks located in the sectors for which they have paid participation fee and provided bid guarantee.
