ARACAJU, Brazil, July 26 (Reuters) -Brazil's state-run oil firm Petrobras PETR4.SA has made a non-binding offer to buy a major stakein Galp Energia's GALP.LS huge oil offshore discovery in Namibia, Petrobras Exploration and Production Director Sylviados Anjos told Reuters on Friday.
If accepted, the bid would make Petrobras the operator of the Mopane oil and gas field, which has at least 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent according to estimates, said Anjos in her first interview after taking over the role last month.
Petrobras isseeking opportunities abroad due to difficulty getting environmental licenses to explore new areas in Brazil, Anjos said. The firm has hitstiff resistance from Indigenous groups and environmental regulators slowing its efforts to drill in promising offshore areas near the mouth of the Amazon River.
Workers at environmental agency Ibama have also been slow-walking all licensing this year due to a labor dispute.
More than 12 oil companies , including Exxon and Shell have expressed interest in buying a 40% stake in Galp Energia's oil field, Reuters previously reported. Anjos did not say whether the bid was to buy the full 40% or a smaller share.
"We are the best deep-water operators," said Anjos. "If they don't choose us, it's their loss."
