In the first six months of this year, Pré-Sal Petróleo (PPSA) raised R$ 1.23 billion with the sale of the portion of oil and gas under Union law in production sharing contracts.
According to the company, today (27), in Rio de Janeiro, the amount is a record since its creation and exceeds by 1% the amount collected last year (R$ 1.22 billion).
Created in November 2013, Pré-Sal Petróleo operates in the management of production sharing contracts, management of the commercialization of oil and natural gas and the representation of the Union in unitization or individualization agreements.
In the first half of 2022, oil from contracts for the Mero, Tupi and Sapinhoá pre-salt fields was sold to Petrobras, which won the cargoes in an auction held on the B3, Stock Exchange. These fields are located in the Santos Basin (SP).
Volume
By the end of the year, 19 cargoes of 500,000 barrels of oil each are expected to be sold. Of this total, seven loads have already been delivered. Between January and June, natural gas from contracts for the pre-salt fields of Búzios, Sapinhoá and Tupi was also sold.
In PPSA’s assessment, the result obtained in the first half of this year confirms the expected growth for the Union’s revenue from the commercialization of its share in the oil production sharing contracts. Until next December, the expectation is that the collection will reach close to R$ 4 billion. The resources are destined to the National Treasury.
Since 2013, PPSA has raised BRL 5.21 billion for the Federal Government, of which BRL 3.9 billion resulted from commercialization and BRL 1.3 billion from Equalization of Expenses and Volumes (EGV), financial settlement resulting from the Agreements Individualization of Sapinhoá, Tupi and Tartaruga Verde Production.
