RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) – La subasta de bloques de exploraci ‘n de petr ‘leo y gas en aguas profundas de la Cuenca de Foz de Amazonas del norte de Brasil atrajo el martes un fuerte inter (c)s, con ofertas hasta 40 veces por encima del precio m -nimo.
Las petroleras que se adjudicaron bloques en Foz de Amazonas fueron la francesa Total, la estatal brasile +/-a Petrobras, BP, Exxon, la malaya Petronas, la australiana BHP Billiton y OGX, el brazo petrolero del magnate brasile +/-o Eike Batista.
En el 2012 un descubrimiento de petr ‘leo en la vecina Guyana Francesa elev ‘ las expectativas de encontrar en Foz do Amazonas estructuras de petr ‘leo y gas similares a las halladas en pa -ses de Africa Occidental como Nigeria.
