Three sectors
are being offered in Campos Basin, two
in shallow - and one in deep waters,
respectively 38 and 6 blocks, totaling
11,500.94 km². Situated off the
coast of the Rio de Janeiro and Espírito
Santo States, this basin covers an area
of 115,800 km² to a water depth
limit of 3,000m. A small part of this
area extends onshore. The basin was
the target for a recent 2D spec seismic
survey. The interaction of petroleum
system elements has resulted in an ideal
timing of hydrocarbon generation, migration
and trapping turning this basin into
the most prolific in Brazil, with the
discovery of enormous volumes of oil
and gas. Current production exceeds
1.25 million barrels of oil per day
and 18.89 million cubic meters of gas.
Recent significant discoveries on blocks
BC-30 and BC-60, are under evaluation,
and their declaration of commerciality
is expected for the next year. In other
blocks, for example, BC-10 and BC-2,
the drilling of 12 wells, resulted in
discoveries which potential are been
evaluated.
