Read MoreHide Full Article
Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilian government-owned oil giant, Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) , declared that it found a new oil accumulation in the southern part of the Campos Basin. The oil accumulation was discovered in a wildcat well in the Alto de Cabo Frio Central block, at a distance of about 140 miles from Rio de Janeiro, the water depth of which is 1,833 meters.
The company stated that the oil-bearing interval was tested by means of loggings and the samples of oil would be later characterized by a further laboratory examination. However, the drilling of the well will continue to the final depth, which was initially intended to gauge the measurements of the new accumulation and characterize the quality of fluids and reservoirs found.
