According to the contract, ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Turkey B.V. owns a 25% stake in the block. Petrobras's interest in the project is 25%, and TPAO owns the remaining 50%.
According to the communique by the Brazilian oil company, the drilling platform to be used in this project - the Leiv Eiriksson drilling unit - arrived in Brazil in December 31. Drilling activities are expected to start in the first quarter of 2010 in the Sinop-1 well, located 145 kilometers away from the city of Sinop.
The document will provide for TPAO, Petrobras and ExxonMobil to grow jointly in exploration activities in the Black Sea and take advantage of the synergy existing among these companies,' said Fernando Cunha, Petrobras executive manager for the Americas, Africa and Eurasia.
