Sao Paulo , Brazil ( CNN ) -- Oil from a small leak in Brazilian waters -- the second in less than two months -- has reached the shores of Rio de Janeiro state , environmental authorities said . The oil was discovered on Bonfim Beach during a flyover Sunday , according to the state environmental secretariat . The oil is believed to be from a Japanese-operated oil platform that leaked 63 barrels on Friday in the picturesque waters around Ilha Grande and Angra dos Reis , the agency said . In early November , some 3,000 barrels of oil spilled into the ocean at a deep-water well drilled by U.S. oil giant Chevron . In response to the spill , Brazilian federal prosecutors filed a suit last week against Chevron and oil rig operator Transocean Ltd. for about $ 11 billion . The civil suit also seeks to halt the companiesÂ¹ operations in Brazil . In the case of this second spill , authorities said they would initially levy a $ 5.4 million fine on Modec , the rig operator . The accidents , though small , are getting high-profile treatment as Brazil begins to develop more deep-water sites in extreme depths off the coast of the state of Rio . Extraction will require extremely complicated techniques but Brazil hopes it will also make the country the third largest oil producer in the world by 2020 .
