Ibama

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.
