Investing.com -- Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras announced Monday it has discovered high-quality crude oil in the post-salt layer of the Campos Basin.

The discovery was made in an exploratory well located in the Tartaruga Verde block, according to a securities filing from the company.

Petrobras confirmed the presence of oil-bearing intervals through multiple verification methods, including electric logs, gas indications, and fluid sampling. These samples will now undergo laboratory analysis to determine the specific characteristics of both the reservoir and the fluid.

The company operates the Tartaruga Verde block with a 100% stake, maintaining full control over the development of this new discovery.
