In a statement, the National Petroleum Agency (ANP) said investment is expected to amount to R$ 216 million (roughly US$ 55 million at current exchange rates). The sum to be paid by the winning bidders upon the signing of contracts, in December, will be R$ 121.1 million (US$ 31 million).<\/p>\n<p>Seventeen companies from seven different countries placed winning bids. Eleven of them were Brazilian and six were foreign, from Canada, China, the Bermuda, Panama, Argentina and France.<\/p>\n<p>Government news outlet <em>Ag&ecirc;ncia Brasil<\/em> reported that ANP&rsquo;s CEO Magda Chambriard said the agency had &ldquo;moderate&rdquo; expectations for the bidding round because the drop in oil prices is taking away from corporations&rsquo; fiscal results, and consequently their investment potential.
