Ibama has fined Petrobras R$2.5 million for a drilling fluid spill in January in the Foz do Amazonas basin. The incident involved discharging 18.44 cubic meters of an oily mixture into the sea, rated as medium risk to human health and the aquatic ecosystem. Despite the state-run company's claims that the material is biodegradable, the event sparked protests and temporarily halted operations.

Petrobras is delaying payment of a R$ 625,500 fine imposed by Ibama for failing to monitor fluids during a 2011 drilling in the Foz do Amazonas basin. The state-owned company contests the infraction, claiming the requirement was introduced after operations ended, while Ibama keeps the process confidential in its final allegations phase. Recently, a new leak occurred in a nearby block, but no penalty has been issued yet.
