据OE网站4月7日报道， 巴西国家石油公司（Petrobras）已同意接管英国石油公司（BP）在巴西北部近海六个超深水区块的全部股权。
这些区块距离阿马帕州（Amapá）约120公里，巴国油表示，那里是巴西赤道边缘的一个很有潜力的勘探前沿。
协议中的六个区块分别为:FZA-M-57、FZA-M-59、FZA-M-86、FZA-M-88、FZA-M-125和FZAM-127，这六个区块是该财团在2013年第11轮区块招标中收购的。巴国油没有透露交易的财务条款细节。
FZA-M-57、FZA-M-86、FZA-M-88、FZA-M-125和FZA-M-127区块为巴西国家石油公司(30%)、道达尔(40%)和BP(30%)所有。
巴国油于2020年9月28日签署了一项协议，将承担该业务以及道达尔在这些合同中的所有股份，但这笔交易仍需获得ANP的批准。
道达尔曾在2020年9月早些时候宣布放弃五个勘探区块的经营权，这一决定是在巴西环境监管机构Ibama第五次（也是最后一次）拒绝其在环境敏感盆地进行钻探的许可证约两年后作出的。Ibama当时表示，该地区的石油勘探将给珊瑚礁和生物多样性带来风险。
FZA-M-59区块由巴国油和英国石油公司组成的财团拥有。巴国油作为运营商持有30%的股份，英国石油公司持有70%股份。
巴国油就与英国石油公司的协议评论道，根据与英国石油公司的协议，巴西国家石油公司将拥有这六个区块100%的权益。转让的完成仍需监管部门的批准。该交易符合2021-2025年战略计划，该计划预测了东南盆地以外的新的勘探前沿，也是公司投资组合管理流程的一部分，优先投资于深水和超深水的世界级资产，旨在为股东实现价值最大化。

Petrobras to Take Over Six BP's Ultra-deepwater Blocks in Brazil
Brazil's national oil company Petrobras has agreed to take over BP's entire stakes in six ultra-deepwater blocks, located offshore northern Brazil.
The blocks are situated some 120 km from the state of Amapá, in what Petrobras said was a high-potential exploratory frontier The six blocks in the agreements are: FZA-M-57, FZA-M-59, FZA-M-86, FZA-M-88, FZA-M-125 and FZAM-127, which were acquired by the consortia in the 11th Bidding Round of Blocks in 2013. Petrobras did not share details Blocks FZA-M-57, FZA-M-86, FZA-M-88, FZA-M-125 and FZA-M-127 are owned by Petrobras (30%), Total (40%) and BP (30%).
Petrobras Total had earlier in September 2020 announced its decision o give up operatorship over the five exploration blocks, the decision made some two years after the Brazilian environmental regulator Ibama denied it a permit to drill in the environmentally sensitive Basin for a fifth and final time. Ibama at the time said that oil exploration in the area would present risks to reefs and biodiversity.
The FZA-M-59 block is owned by a consortium of Petrobras, with a 30% stake and operator, and BP (70%).
Providing comment on the agreement with BP, Petrobras said: "The agreement with BP will allow Petrobras to hold 100% interest in these six blocks. The completion of the transfer is still subject to regulatory approvals. This transaction is in line with the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, which foresees new exploratory fronts outside the Southeastern basins, and is part of the company's portfolio management process, prioritizing investments in world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, aiming to maximize value for our shareholders."
