Detailed royalty figures by beneficiary, including historical data, are available on the Royalties page. Data for the current month are being consolidated and will be published soon on the same page.

Regarding royalties from production-sharing contracts for May 2025, the funds will be made available to beneficiaries as soon as all required operational procedures are completed.

The ANP's Role in Royalty Distribution

The ANP is responsible for calculating, verifying, and distributing royalties to the entitled entities (the Federal Government, States, and Municipalities). Royalties are distributed according to several criteria established by Law No. 7,990/1989 and Decree No. 1/1991 (distribution of the 5% royalty share), as well as Law No. 9,478/1997 and Decree No. 2,705/1998 (distribution of the portion exceeding 5%).

The Agency is committed to full transparency regarding the distribution of resources to beneficiary entities and to carefully executing the complex operational steps involved in nationwide royalty distribution, as defined by applicable legislation.

There is no legally mandated payment date for royalty distributions. Nonetheless, the ANP is committed to ensuring that royalty revenues reach beneficiaries as quickly as possible.

The values of the deposits, along with the respective beneficiaries, can be checked on the Banco do Brasil website. To view Royalty information, select the fund named “ANP – ROYALTIES DA ANP” in the "Fund" field.
