巴西国家石油公司已完成赤道边缘波蒂瓜尔盆地 Pitu Oeste 探井的钻探工作。该公司告知 ANP，它已发现碳氢化合物的存在，但经济可行性仍不确定。该井是 BM-POT-17 特许权的一部分，位于距北里奥格兰德海岸 52 公里的深水区。

巴西国家石油公司将继续在该地区进行勘探研究，并计划于 2 月份在 Potiguar 盆地的 Anhang谩 井钻探第二口井，该井位于 POT-M-762 特许权区，距里约州海岸 79 公里Grande do Norte 和 Pitu Oeste 井附近。

该公司还将寻求获得更多有关该地区的地质信息，以评估油藏的潜力并指导未来的勘探活动。Pitu Oeste 探井的钻探已安全完成，并遵循严格的深水作业协议。

Petrobras has completed drilling the Pitu Oeste exploratory well in the Potiguar Basin on the Equatorial Margin. The company informed ANP that it has identified the presence of hydrocarbons, but economic viability is still inconclusive. The well is part of the BM-POT-17 concession and is located in deepwater 52 km off the coast of Rio Grande do Norte.

Petrobras is set to continue its exploratory research in the region and plans to drill a second well in the Potiguar Basin in February, at the Anhangá well, in the POT-M-762 concession, 79 km off the coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte and nearby the Pitu Oeste well.

The company will also look to obtain more geological information about the area to assess the potential of the reservoirs and direct future exploratory activities. The drilling of the exploratory well in Pitu Oeste was completed safely and following strict deepwater operating protocols.
