(Reuters) -
Brazil's National Oil Regulator (ANP) said on Wednesday that it is suspending
the drilling rights of U.S. oil major Chevron in national territory until it
clarifies conditions of the recent oil spill in its Frade field.
The ANP
also said it has denied Chevron's request to drill into ultra-deep subsalt
areas, which hold huge deposits of oil off Brazil's coast.
