The maritime and land blocks of the Espírito Santo basin offered in the 14th round heated the minds of auctioneers, raising from R $ 23 million to 73 million the amount accumulated so far in this IDB.

After the first deepwater sector had no offer, China's CNOOC and Spain's Repsol seized two of the six offshore blocks offered.

Already in the auction of land blocks of this basin, eight of the 19 offered were auctioned, Imetame being the big winner, with five blocks, followed by Bertek with two, and Vipetro, with one.
