ANP RESOLUTION NO. 24 OF JULY 1, 2013
Resolution No. 24/2013 of the Brazilian National Agency for Oil,
Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional do
Petróleo, Gás Natural e
Biocombustíveis - "ANP") went into
effect on July 1, 2013. The resolution establishes the basic
guidelines for ANP to promote bid rounds for the pre-salt and other
strategic areas, and is the result of Public Hearing No. 16/2013,
which took place on June 11, 2013.
Various comments and suggestions to the draft regulation were made
by the oil and gas industry and other interested parties. However,
no material changes were made to the final version of the
regulation.
In addition, ANP has not made available any information regarding
the dates for the disclosure of the tender protocol for the first
pre-salt bid round.
