Petrobras said Thursday that the well, in the Sudoeste de Tartaruga Verde block, was located 130 km from the city of Macaé (RJ), in water depths of 1,080 meters, with the discovery of oil in carbonate reservoirs in the post-salt section.
"The well data will be analyzed to better target exploratory activities in the area and assess the potential of the discovery," the company said. The company did not say which drilling rig was used for the operation.
