On 14 October 2025, Brazil’s environmental agency Ibama requested additional information from Petrobras as part of the licensing process for drilling in the Foz do Amazonas Basin, according to documents seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
The Foz do Amazonas Basin is a high‑potential offshore area that Petrobras has been pursuing for several years. The additional information requirement signals that Ibama is scrutinizing the environmental impact assessment and compliance with national regulations.
The regulatory query could delay the issuance of a drilling license, potentially postponing the start of Petrobras’ planned exploration activities in the basin. The company will need to provide the requested data promptly to avoid further delays and keep its investment timeline on track.
