Rio de Janeiro– “O terceiro leilão de Oferta Permanente foi mais um marco de nosso foco no Brasil, que é responsável por cerca de 13% da produção global de óleo e gás da Shell. Esta nova área amplia ainda mais nosso portfólio no Brasil, onde temos atuado como operadores desde o início do século XXI,” afirmou Manoela Lopes, Diretora de Exploração da Shell Brasil.

Com o bloco adquirido na 3ª Oferta Permanente de áreas de exploração, a Shell Brasil agora detém mais de 30 contratos de óleo e gás no país.

Shell will be the operator for all the blocks with a 70 percent stake, along with partner Ecopetrol Óleo e Gás (30 percent). Shell will pay its share of the total signing bonus, equating to approximately R$ 98.158 million.
