The Pre-Salt as a New Paradigm
(up to 50 billion bbl?)
From 2004:
71 wells drilled
13 wells (18%)

Improving
knowledge on the Brazilian
Sedimentary Basins
New data in the Brazilian
Sedimentary Basins
The seismic acquisitons performed by Data
Acquistion Companies (DACs) after the monopoly
Flexibilization were crucial for discovering the
Pre-Salt area – the new horizon to petroleum
industry

BDEP
Brazilian Data Center
ANP Data Bank
What is BDEP?
The Brazilian Data Center is the unit inside ANP responsible for storing all
technical data acquired on petroleum exploration and production activities
throughout Brazilian sedimentary basins.
ANP Data Bank
Legal issues
- 1995: Constitutional amendment n°9 – Monopoly flexibilization
- 1997: Law n°9478 – Creation of the Regulatory Agency – ANP
Article 8°, item XI - “organize and maintain archives of information and technical data
related to petroleum, natural gas and biofuels industry regulated activities”
- 2000: To achieve this mission, ANP created BDEP, operated through a technical
agreement with the National Geologic Survey - CPRM
ANP Data Bank
 1998: Petrobras Data collection transfer to ANP (legacy data)
The competitive market
structure led
to a growth

Final Remarks
• Data Availability is a key issue for the oil & gas industry;
• The intensification of E&P activities in Brazil increases the challenge of
ensuring the availability of good data just in time;
• New data acquisitions impose us agility to build new standards to store and
release information;
• ANP is really interested in cooperating with NDR members for the
improvement of technical data management.
