ANP releases list of companies eligible for OPP4 and OPC6 licensing rounds

Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) has released the list of companies with active registrations eligible to participate in the 4th Permanent Production Sharing Offer (OPP4) and the 6th Permanent Concession Offer (OPC6), both scheduled for October 7.

The list includes 19 registered bidders for OPP4 and 46 companies with active registrations for OPC6. Registration alone does not guarantee participation, as interested companies must submit a declaration of interest together with a bid guarantee by July 21.

On August 6, the ANP will announce which exploration blocks received valid expressions of interest and will therefore be included in the two licensing rounds.
