When the giant fields Marlim, Auger, and Mars were discovered in 1985, 1987, and 1989, respectively, a rush toward deep offshore acreage was expected. However, that rush did not take place for nearly a decade. Deep offshore exploration was taken seriously only when it became obvious that the well productivity on Auger was far above expectations.
