Petrobras finds hydrocarbons at Morpho well in Brazil’s Foz do Amazonas basin
  • Petrobras identified hydrocarbons in the Morpho exploratory well in the FZA-M-59 block offshore Amapá, in Brazil’s Foz do Amazonas basin.
  • The well sits about 175 km from shore in 2,886 meters of water, targeting an ultra-deepwater frontier play.
  • Hydrocarbon-bearing intervals were indicated by electric logs and rock shows; drilling continues to assess the discovery.
  • Petrobras operates the block with a 100% stake; it was acquired in ANP’s 11th licensing round in 2013 under a concession regime.
