Petrobras reports the discovery of two new oil accumulations in reservoirs located in the Campos Basin, after the drilling of the exploratory well 6-BR-63A-RJS, located in Barracuda concession area, some 100 km off the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and at water depth of 860 meters.

One of the accumulations was discovered in pre-salt carbonate reservoirs, at a depth of 4,340 meters. Preliminary estimates indicate the presence of light oil (28o API), with recoverable volumes of approximately 40 million barrels and the tests indicated a good productivity in the reservoirs.

Additionally, with well 6-BR-63A-RJS, another oil accumulation was also discovered in sandstone post-salt reservoirs. The volume of recoverable oil has been estimated at 25 million barrels in this accumulation.
