In the Seminar´s opening, Director Newton Monteiro stressed the variety of areas put on offer, comprising basins which are already mature along with others that will require greater efforts and those in which there are more exploratory risks involved. This way, the round is tailored to attract different types of investors, including small companies. This approach was detailed by Superintendent Magda Chambriard during her presentation “Atratividade das Bacias na Nona Rodada” (text in Portuguese only).
In the sequence, enviromental aspects related to Round 9 were presented. The Brazilian federal public agency (IBAMA) in charge of this subject sent a representative to express the government´s approach towards enviromental licences and the following presentations were made:
After those presentations, a roundtable was set to further discuss and clarify specific topics. Concerning the basins´ technical aspects, ANP´s staff made detailed presentations pointing to geological aspects considered favourable to oil and gas discoveries in each one, as shown below.
