Petrobras says its 3,000 offshore wells qualify it to drill off the Amazon | Video

Urucu (Brazil), April 26 (EFE).- The oil company Petrobras considers that the 3,000 wells it has already drilled without any accident in deep waters off the Brazilian coast accredit it to operate safely in the Equatorial Margin, a promising horizon that includes a vulnerable area in front of the mouth of the Amazon.
