Brazil is the 8th largest total energy consumer and 10th largest producer in the world. • More than 90% of Brazil's oil production is offshore in very deep water and consists of mostly heavy grades. • The world's largest oil discoveries in recent years have come from Brazil's offshore, pre-salt basins (1) • Petrobras will be the sole operator of each production sharing agreement and will hold a minimum 30% stake in all pre-salt projects. • Brazil has the third-largest electricity sector in the Americas, behind the United States and Canada. (1) Pre-salt oil is generally characterized as oil reserves situated exceptionally deep under thick layers of rock and salt and requiring substantial investment to extract Source: US eia
In an effort to address the country's dependence on oil imports and surplus of sugar cane, the government implemented policies to encourage ethanol production and consumption beginning in the 1970s. Source: US eia
OIL Sector organization State-controlled Petrobras is the dominant participant in Brazil's oil sector, holding important positions in upstream, midstream, and downstream activities. The company held a monopoly on oil-related activities in the country until 1997, when the government opened the sector to competition. Royal Dutch Shell was the first foreign crude oil producer in the country, and it has now been joined by Chevron, Repsol, BP, Anadarko, El Paso, GalpEnergia, Statoil, BG Group, Sinopec, ONGC, and TNK-BP. Competition in the sector is not just from foreign companies: Brazilian oil company OGX, which is staffed largely with former Petrobras employees, started to produce oil in the Campos Basin in 2011. The principal government agency charged with regulating and monitoring the oil sector is the AgênciaNacional do Petróleo (ANP), which is responsible for issuing exploration and production licenses and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations
