Quorum: "invalid opcode: SELFBALANCE" error unless 'petersburg' chosen manually - ethereum

Question

We are running a GoQuorum 27.7 network.
In Remix with 'default' as the EVM version, when running the function SELFBALANCE it gives the error: invalid opcode: SELFBALANCE .
However, when manually choosing "petersburg" as the EVM version, it works fine.
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >=0.8.0;
contract TestCalls {
uint256 public XYSTORED = 0;
function setBalance() external returns(uint256) {
XYSTORED = address(this).balance;
return XYSTORED;
}
function withdawlCIC() external {
payable(msg.sender).transfer(XYSTORED);
XYSTORED = address(this).balance;
}
function emergencyWithdrawl() external {
payable(msg.sender).transfer(XYSTORED);
}
function ViewXXBalance() external view returns(uint256 balance) {
balance = address(this).balance;
}
}
What is the approach to allow let it work without having to choose "petersburg" every time a contract with this function is deployed?
It is a QBFT network.

I tried adding the following transitions to Genesis. The issue persisted:
"transitions": [{
"block": 54074,
"istanbulBlock": true
},
{
"block": 547122,
"petersburgBlock": true
}]
To run a function in Remix to retrieve the self balance.
