In May 2018, Petrobras launched a process inviting companies to bid on a project to revitalize the onshore fields of the Canto do Amaro complex. The contract covers 15 assets in the state of Rio Grande do Norte and is called Polo Canto do Amaro. It includes the Barrinha, Barrinha Leste, Barrinha Sudoeste, Benfica, Boa Vista, Canto do Amaro, Fazenda Canaa, Morrinho, Mossoro, Pedra Sentada, Pintassilgo, Poco Verde, Redonda Profundo, Serra do Mel and Serra Vermelha field blocks. The winning company will get a 15-year service contract and must conduct at least 65 completion/workover operations and 34 lifting method changes in the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2020 for the areas. The winning company will have to make investments and contribute knowledge and technologies to boost the recovery factor of the fields and increase the return to Petrobras. The company's compensation will be based on the total production obtained by Petrobras in Canto do Amaro fields. The contract model has the winning bidder contracted to be responsible for all the investment in the fields and for the cost of operation, maintenance and abandonment of all the wells it drills while Petrobras will continue to operate the fields, hold the reserves and be responsible for the other operating costs of the production system. The production baseline curve set by Petrobras for the first 12 months of the contract, beginning on 30 June 2019 calls for an average daily production in the fields, ranging from 13,400 bo/d in July 2019 to 12,700 bo/d in June 2020.
