The Open Acreage of Concession (OPC) comprises the continuous offer of exploration fields and blocks that have been returned (or are in the process of being returned), as well as exploratory blocks offered in previous rounds that were not awarded, for the purpose of granting the right to conduct exploration or rehabilitation and production activities of oil and natural gas under the concession regime.
Any company interested in participating in the OPC must submit its application for registration in accordance with the terms of the current tender protocol. The interested party whose application for registration is approved by CEL and who keeps its registration documents up to date will be considered a bidder.
A cycle of the Open Acreage of Concession will be opened upon approval of a declaration of interest accompanied by a bid guarantee, submitted by a registered bidder, and a specific schedule will then be established to allow bidders to participate in that cycle.
The schedule to be established by CEL for each cycle of the Open Acreage of Concession shall provide for a minimum period of 120 (one hundred and twenty) calendar days and a maximum period of 180 (one hundred and eighty) calendar days between the publication in the Federal Official Gazette (DOU) of the approval of the first declaration of interest and the date of the public session for the presentation of bids.
