- A Petrobras executive confirmed to BBG reporters last night that Petrobras remains interested in Galp’s important Mopane discovery (>10bn barrels estimated at over USD 10bn) in Namibia after reports last week that Exxon was withdrawing from the process.
- Reuters had reported back in August that Petrobras, along with an additional unnamed party, had made a non-binding offer to operate the Mopane offshore block in Namibia which necessitates taking a 40% stake from Galp to proceed.
- Other names tipped to be involved include TotalEnergies and Equinor.
