The discovery, featuring Albian-age turbidite reservoirs, will undergo further assessment to determine the quality and commercial viability of the reservoirs. Petrobras' strategic plan includes investing $7.5 billion in exploration by 2028, with $3.1 billion allocated to the Equatorial Margin, and drilling 50 new exploratory wells, 16 of which will be in the Equatorial Margin. The company's efforts align with Brazil's energy security and the just energy transition, aiming to prevent the country from becoming an oil importer by maintaining a diversified energy portfolio.
