Petrobras discovered hydrocarbons at the Morpho exploratory well in the Foz do Amazonas basin. This marks the company's first find in this environmentally sensitive frontier region.
The site is located 175 kilometers off the coast of Amapá state. Drilling reached ultra-deep waters at a depth of 2,886 meters.
Wireline logs and rock samples confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons. Petrobras continues drilling to assess the accumulation's volume and commercial viability.
The Equatorial Margin shares geological similarities with prolific discoveries in Guyana. This project is a key component of Petrobras's strategy to replenish its reserves.
