PANAMA CITY, PANAMA (Piero Stewart, Energy Analytics Institute, 17.Mar.2025) — Petrobras identified the presence of hydrocarbons in the 4-BRSA-1395-SPS exploratory well in the Aram block, an important asset for exploring the pre-salt potential, particularly in the Santos Basin.

The well is located 245km from the city of Santos-(São Paulo), at a water depth of 1,759m, Petrobras announced on 17 Mar. 2025 in an official statement.
The well is currently being drilled, and the hydrocarbon-bearing interval has been detected by means of wireline loggings, gas shows and fluid sampling, which will later be characterized by laboratory analysis. These data will make it possible to assess the potential and direct the next exploratory activities in the area, Petrobras said.
