Brazil’s 17th bidding round to offer 92 blocks

Brazil’s 17th bidding round for E&P concessions will take place on 7 October 2021, according to the National Petroleum Agency (ANP). The latest round will offer 92 offshore blocks in the Campos, Santos, Pelotas and Potiguar Basins.

The 7th round for production sharing agreements (PSAs), originally scheduled for 2020, is also expected to take place this year.

The latter is specifically designed for blocks located in the Brazilian pre-salt province, whereas bidding rounds for E&P concessions award blocks located elsewhere in the country.

YPF to increase investment in 2021

In a bid to increase oil and gas production after a 10% drop in 2020, the Argentine national oil company YPF has pledged to boost investment in the country by 73% in 2021. Investment plans, however, depend on the company’s ability to restructure its finances and obtain access to cash.

Argentina’s financial crisis has been an obstacle for companies wishing to access international capital markets, which means that YPF would have to fund its investment target using the company’s own cash flow.
