April 24 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil's state-controlled oil company, found oil in a well in shallow waters in Brazil's Campos Basin, the country's petroleum regulator said on its Web site.
Petrobras, as the company is known, has not determined whether the discovery in the Enchova West field can be pumped at a profit. Petrobras notified the petroleum regulator, known as ANP, of the discovery on April 8, according to the regulator's Web site. All oil companies are required to inform the Brazilian regulator of discoveries and if they determine the field to be commercially viable.
An official at the press office of Rio de Janeiro-based Petrobras said the company has no comment. Petrobras only comments when fields are declared commercial, the official said. By company policy, the official is not allowed to be named.
Petrobras plans to spend $112 billion through 2012 to expand output in Brazil and abroad. The company struck petroleum in 59 percent of the 109 Brazilian exploratory wells drilled in 2007, Eduardo Molinari, an exploration official with Petrobras, said March 4.
The discovery is in a region where Petrobras is already producing oil, according to the ANP's press office.
The company's preferred shares, its most-traded class of stock jumped almost two reais after the report of the find, then gave up most of those gains to fall 1.82 reais, or 2.1 percent, to 83.20 reais by the end of trading in Sao Paulo.
