Permanent Offer Differentials 

The main difference from the Permanent Bid to the other rounds is that its cycle only begins when the Special Bidding Commission (CEL) approves a declaration of interest, accompanied by the bid guarantee, for one or more blocks / areas on offer, presented by one of the registered companies.

Another difference is that the process allows companies to study the selected areas for longer.

There are currently 47 companies registered (see list on page http://rodadas.anp.gov.br/pt/oferta-permanente/inscricao-de-licitantes).

What are the cycles

As set forth in the Notice, the Permanent Offer cycles correspond to the holding of the public offer presentation sessions for one or more sectors that had a declaration of interest. These cycles begin with the disclosure of their schedule, upon approval by CEL of one or more declarations of interest, accompanied by a guarantee of offer, presented by registered companies.

With the opening of the cycle, the following deadlines begin:

- Within 30 days, companies not yet enrolled in the Permanent Offer may apply for membership;

- Within 70 days, the companies already registered may submit a declaration of interest, with guarantee of offer, to the sector that originated the cycle or any other sector contained in the Notice;

- Within 90 days, the ANP holds the public session, in which all blocks and areas with marginal accumulations of the sectors that received a declaration of interest are offered.

On the day of the public session, the registered companies may bid for blocks and areas with marginal accumulations in the bidding sectors in the Open Permanent Offer cycle.

In the case of exploratory blocks, the offers are made up of signature bonuses (equal to or greater than the minimum bonus determined in the announcement) and Minimum Exploratory Program (PEM), containing the activities that companies undertake to perform during the exploratory phase (such as drilling). wells and seismic production, for example).

If there is more than one offer for the same block, the company or consortium that reaches the highest score wins, with the signing bonus weighing 80% and PEM 20%.

For areas with marginal accumulations, the only criteria for determining the winners is the signature bonus offered, which must also be equal to or greater than the minimum determined in the notice.
