The deal was worth US$ 13.07 million to Petrobras, plus up to $ 42.5 million in contingent payments, depending on future Brent prices and asset development.
Petrobras held 100% stakes in the Peroá and Cangoá fields, located in shallow waters, whose average production from January to June 2022 was about 572,000 cu m/day of non-associated gas, and 100% stakes in the BM-ES-21 exploratory block, in deep waters, where the Malombe discovery is located.

Earlier, Petrobras said the sale was aligned with the strategy of portfolio optimization and the improvement of the allocation of the company's capital, concentrating increasingly its resources on world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, "where Petrobras has shown great competitive edge over the years."
