    RIO DE JANEIRO – Petrobras has started the binding phase of the sale of its 44% operated interest in Tayrona block in the deepwater Guajira basin offshore northeast Colombia.

    Potential bidders qualified for this phase will receive instructions on the divestment process, including guidelines for due diligence and the submission of binding proposals.

    Petrobras International Braspetro operates the block in partnership with Empresa Colombiana de Petróleos (Ecopetrol).

    Currently the concession is in the Posterior Exploration Programme 1 phase with a remaining commitment of drilling a well, with the potential to prove significant volumes of gas, Petrobras claimed.

    The area exhibits similar characteristics to discoveries on the margins of the South Atlantic and the Caribbean.
