About R $ 23 million is what has been raised so far after offers of blocks in five basins in the 14th round of bids of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), held in Rio de Janeiro. By 11:30 am, the blocks of the Parnaíba, Pelotas, Potiguar, Santos and Recôncavo basins had been offered.

The bets of the specialists that accompany the 14th IDB of the agency is that the round should be at 30% of the value projected by the director general of the agency, Décio Oddone, who predicted to raise R $ 500 million. "The rounds he did did not seem to work. He was not convinced," said a company consultant who collected blocks in the Recôncavo basin without any dispute.
