ANP's board approved on September 4 the nomination of 24 onshore exploratory blocks in the Potiguar Basin for future Permanent Offer cycles, per the agency itself, Estadão and InfoMoney. Among them is block POT-T-551, covering Tabuleiro do Norte in Ceará, where a farmer drilling a water well found a fluid confirmed as oil by ANP's research center. The blocks enter offer only after the 6th cycle, set for October 7, and after environmental analysis and a joint MME and MMA opinion.
