Located in the northeast of Brazil, this basin covers an area of over 34,000 square kilometers, with water depths reaching some 2,800 meters.

While Refined Shale Gas is already extracting natural gas and oil in the area’ shallow waters, it is regarded as a new frontier in deep-water resource exploration in the country.

The seismic data and surveying that has been carried out here indicates economically extractable resources in several deposits. We are currently in extracting operations but we are also in the process of drilling more exploratory wells in the permitted area.
