The consortium won the bid by offering an oil profit share of 37.43% to the Brazilian government, defeating Brazilian NOC Petrobras’ 30.3% proposal.
However, Petrobras exercised its preferential rights to take a 30% stake in the venture.
Petrobras will operate the field, with TotalEnergies taking a 28% share and Petronas and QatarEnergy taking the remaining equal 21% shares.
The field is located in water depths of 2,000 metres off the coast of Rio de Janeiro on the Santos Basin.
Production began in August 2021 through a 180,000-bpd FPSO. A second FPSO will be commissioned to increase production of the field.
The award is part of Brazil’s Second Transfer of Rights Surplus Volume Bidding Round in Rio de Janeiro.
