Basis
- Law No. 12.351/2010 (Planalto, in Portuguese): Art. 46-B establishes that MME, with support from PPSA, proposes to CNPE the minimum value for alienating rights arising from production individualization agreements in non-conceded or non-shared pre-salt areas and in strategic areas. CNPE approves the value and the bidding parameters.
How it applies
1. MME, with support from PPSA, prepares and submits to CNPE the minimum value based on technical and economic studies (art. 46-B).
2. CNPE analyzes and approves the minimum value and the bidding parameters (art. 46-B, sole paragraph).
3. PPSA drafts the notice with the approved minimum value and holds the auction in the auction format (art. 46-A, § 2°).
Limits
1. Applies only to the alienation of Union rights in production individualization agreements in non-conceded or non-shared pre-salt areas or in strategic areas (art. 36 of Law 12.351/2010).
2. The minimum value is defined per specific agreement, with no standard value (art. 46-B).
3. Does not apply to agreements signed before 2025 (Law No. 15.164/2025).
4. The Union does not assume risks or guarantees after alienation (art. 46-C, § 1°).
