T&B Petroleum/Press Office ANP
As of today (3/5), the ANP makes public technical data for Brazilian terrestrial sedimentary basins available free of charge. The objective is to promote the expansion of geological knowledge about terrestrial basins and to encourage investments in exploration and production of oil and natural gas in areas already under concession and to be offered in future bidding rounds.
The information made available refers to 23 terrestrial sedimentary basins and is equivalent to an estimated volume of approximately two terabytes (2 TB). These are digital well data, 2D post-stack seismic data, 3D post-stack seismic data and data from non-seismic methods. Pre-stack seismic data will not be included in this free provision.
Pre-stack data is field seismic data, raw data without any treatment, while post-stack data is seismic data that undergoes some processing, treatment.
The data will be made available through physical deliveries to interested parties, on the applicant's own media with data storage capacity equivalent to the order. In the future, after technical adjustments, the data will also be available on the internet.
A disponibilização gratuita desses dados está em consonância com as diretrizes emanadas pelas Resoluções CNPE nº 17/2017 e nº 05/2020, e pelo MME no âmbito da Mesa Reate, relativas à difusão do acesso ao acervo de dados técnicos públicos das bacias sedimentares brasileiras. Essas diretrizes são: o incentivo e a proposição de medidas de estímulo à exploração e à produção de petróleo e de gás natural em bacias terrestres; o desenvolvimento de descobertas petrolíferas de pequeno e médio portes; o aumento da participação das empresas de pequeno e médio portes; e o fomento à pesquisa e desenvolvimento por meio de universidades e centros de pesquisa.
Procedures for requesting and removing data are available on the page https://www.gov.br/anp/pt-br/assuntos/exploracao-e-producao-de-oleo-e-gas/dados-tecnicos/acesso-aos-dados-tecnicos.
