Petrobras finds hydrocarbons in Aram block

Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) identified hydrocarbons in well 1-BRSA-1381-SPS (Curaçao) in Aram block, Santos basin presalt, 240 km from the city of Santos, São Paulo at a water depth of 1,905 m.

The well is a pioneer in the block. The oil-bearing interval was verified through wireline logging and fluid samples, which will be further characterized through laboratory analysis. This data will evaluate the potential and direct the next exploratory activities in the area. The consortium will drill the well to the expected depth and verify the extent of the discovery and characterize the conditions of the reservoirs.

Petrobras is operator of the block (80%) in partnership with CNODC (20%).
