Wintershall Dea was awarded two offshore blocks in the Santos and Campos basins with its partners Chevron and Repsol.
Wintershall Dea will hold an interest of 20% in the blocks S-M-766 and C-M-845, alongside its partners Repsol and Chevron (operator). The blocks contain pre-salt targets. A work program will include 3D seismic acquisition and prospect maturation.
The blocks are located 150 km south-east of the pre-salt discovery Libra, in a new emerging area. They are adjacent to the exploration blocks S-M-764, C-M-821, and C-M-823 where Wintershall Dea, Chevron and Repsol are already partners.
Currently, Wintershall Dea holds a participation interest in nine exploration licenses offshore Brazil.
