Petrobras has confirmed the presence of light oil in well 1-BRSA-870-SPS (1-SPS-76), located to the south of Santos Basin, in sandstones reservoirs, similar to those found in the accumulations of Tiro and Sidon. The discovery is located around 15 km of the Tiro and Sidon area.

The well is situated in block S-M-1352 of the BM-S-41 Concession, where Petrobras holds 100 interests. It is under ANP analysis the transfer of a 20 of the participation interest of the concession to the company Karoon Petroleum and Gas.

This well is located about 280 kilometers off the coast of the State of São Paulo, in a water depth of 400m. The reservoirs were found at a depth of 2.200 meters. The well continues to be drilled with the aim of researching other deeper objectives, still in the post-salt section.

This discovery confirms the success of the exploratory strategy in the search for the formation of a new production hub in the southeastern part of Santos Basin which may be integrated by a series of already discovered fields, such as Caravela, Cavalo Marinho, Coral and Tiro-Sidon, as well as others to be discovered or in evaluation process, such as that of well 1-BRSA-870-SPS in the Marujá prospect.
