Petrobras denied drilling in Amazon by Brazil's environment agency.

Brazil's environmental protection agency, Ibama, has rejected a request from Petrobras to drill a well at the mouth of the Amazon river due to discrepancies in environmental studies, inadequate measures for communicating with indigenous communities, and insufficiencies in Petrobras' plan to safeguard the region's wildlife. The decision follows a technical recommendation by the agency's experts to reject the proposal.
