Petrobras expands exploration footprint with a new Namibian offshore stake.

Petrobras is taking a 42.5% non-operating stake in Block 2613 offshore Namibia, alongside operator TotalEnergies with another 42.5%. The remaining interests go to Eight Offshore Investment Holdings and Namcor Exploration and Production (PTY) Ltd, a Namibian state entity.

The block spans about 11,000 km² in the Lüderitz Basin, framed as a “new frontier” for oil and gas reserves. Management links the move to the 2026–2030 Business Plan, emphasizing portfolio diversification and the replenishment of reserves through exploration and strategic partnerships, rather than short-term production gains.

The transaction has not yet closed and is subject to conditions precedent, including approvals from the Namibian Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy and other regulators. Actual operational activity and any reserves or production impact will depend on future exploration results and subsequent disclosures.
