Deals with the national energy policy, activities related to the oil and gas monopoly, creates National Council for theEnergy Policy (CNPE) and the National Petroleum Agency(ANP) and makes others provisions

Resolution CNPE n. 8,of 07/21/2003

Establishes the oil and natural gas production policy anddefines guidelines for carrying out the bidding for exploratory blocks or areas with discoveries alreadydefined

Art. 2nd - National Petroleum Agency - ANP - should obey nextguidelines, in the implementation of supramentioned policy:

...V – select areas for bidding rounds, accepting possibleexclusions of areas by environmental restrictions, based on joint declaration of ANP, Federal Environmental Agency(“Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis – IBAMA”) and State Environmental Agencies.

IBAMA General Guidelines

“GTPEG”: Work Group for Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities (created by IBAMA Ordinance n. 2110/2006)

Responsible for environmental analysis of

exploratory blocks

IBAMA General Guidelines

General guidelines for exploratory blocks licensing:

E&P activities are prohibited in total protection “UCs”, including their surroundings

E&P activities are prohibited in Extraction Reserves (“Reservas Extrativistas” – “RESEX”). In their surroundings, when allowed on management plan

E&P activities in National Forests (“FLONAS”) and their surroundings: when allowed on management plan

State and municipal agencies should be consulted about Conservation Units (“UCs”) and Indian National Foundation (“FUNAI”) about indian lands

In Permanent Preservation Areas (“APPs”) production and storage

systems are only allowed beyond 300 m of maximum high tide to the

countryside

Blocks with areas that can be overflowed: drilling conditioned by

previous mapping of the influence area. Direct drilling is not allowed

in areas that can be overflowed

Direct drillings on the “orla” (orla à definition according to Decree

5300/2004) are not allowed. Licensing conditioned by use of

alternative technologies

Environmental AnalysisOther Considerations

• Licensing à other important information for social andenvironmental diagnosis

Municipal UCs; Speleological Sites; Remaining Communities of Quilombos; Legal Reserves (Forest Code)

• Exploratory Commitment should be compatible with block peculiarity

• Attention to timelines:

Licensing x Concession Agreement Phases

• Special attention:

– Exploratory phase areas decomissioning (ANP Ordinance n. 114, of 07/25/2001)

– Wells abandonment (ANP Ordinance n. 25, of 03/06/2002)

– Production phase areas decomissioning (ANP Ordinance n. 27, of 10/18/2006)
