Brazilian state-owned company Petrobras has received bids worth more than US$4bn for the divestment of the Albacora and Albacora Leste fields.
The concessions are located in the deep waters of the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil.
The binding offers have been made by two consortia that include one led by Enauta, with 3R Petroleum and US private equity fund EIG Global Energies as partners. The other consortium consists of PetroRio and Spain’s Cobra Group.
Covering an area of 455 sq km, the Albacora field lies in the northern area of the Campos Basin in water depths of 100-1,050m. It is located about 110km from Cabo de São Tomé, on the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro.
Petrobras is the 100% operator of the field, which produced an average 23,200 barrels per day of oil and 408,500 cubic metres per day of gas in 2020.
Petrobras is the operator of the field with a 90% stake, while Repsol Sinopec Brasil owns the remaining 10%.
