The controversial offshore oil project in the mouth of the Amazon river could pose significant spill risk to nearby countries, according to documents from drilling giant Total.
The findings have led to the company to disown key parts of its own Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
In a statement to Energydesk, Total said: “The countries and numbers you mention refer to a scenario in a specific location where Total will never drill.”

The controversial offshore oil drilling project in the mouth of the Amazon river could pose a significant risk to the mysterious nearby coral reef, according to documents filed by Total and BP.
Today, the French gas and oil company Total has announced the finalisation of a $4.8 billion deal with Iran to cultivate and develop the South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf.
This is the first major foreign investment in Iran’s lucrative energy market since the so-called ‘Iran deal’ went into effect, a deal which the EU has just confirmed is still being fully observed by the Iranian government.

BP and Total are planning to drill for oil near a recently discovered coral reef off the coast of Brazil, Energydesk can reveal.
Together the oil majors own five deepwater exploration licences in the Foz do Amazonas (Mouth of the Amazon River) basin and are expected to be granted permits to begin exploratory drilling early this year – once their environmental impact assessments are approved by the Brazilian government.
