Petrobras (Petrobras), the state-owned energy company of Brazil, has discovered a new layer of oil in the Morpho well (1-BRSA-1405-APS) located in Block FZA-M-59 off the coast of Amapá. This discovery was made at a depth of 2,886 meters below the water surface and in ultra-deep waters.
Details of the New Oil Discovery
This new discovery comes a few weeks after hydrocarbons were identified in this exploratory well in the sedimentary basin of the Amazon River mouth, using the Foresea ODN II (NS-42) drilling rig. Continued drilling in this well, aimed at assessing deeper layers, led to the identification of this new oil layer. The information obtained through electrical measurements, signs present in rock samples, and liquid samples collected during the operation has been confirmed.

The Future of Petrobras Discoveries
Petrobras has announced that this new discovery increases knowledge about the exploratory potential of this area and provides additional information for assessing oil systems and the resource potential of the Foz do Amazonas sedimentary basin. Analyses are still ongoing, and the collected information will soon be integrated with laboratory analyses and data obtained from drilling.
Regarding the discovery announced in August, the analyses conducted have confirmed the good quality of the discovered oil. The company intends to complete drilling activities in the well and assess the identified layers.
Petrobras has emphasized that its operations in Block FZA-M-59 align with its long-term strategy aimed at renewing oil and gas reserves through the exploration of new frontiers. This action will help meet the country's energy demand.
