RegulationofOil & Gas Offshore ExplorationandProductionActivities
Oil & Gas Offshore ExplorationandProduction • Explorationandproductionofoilandgasoffshore are not a recentactivity. • The firstactivitiestookplace in thebeginning of lastcenturybyadaptingequipmentandthecnicsusedononshoreexploration. • Due to technologicalandoperationalbreakthroughs, resources inaccessible in thepastbecameviableandturnedintoeconomicallyrecoverable reserves.
Oil & Gas Offshore ExplorationandProduction Brazil is currently a world leadingreference in oil & gasexplorationandproduction in bothdeepand ultra deepwater. Approximately 90% ofBrazil’soil output comes from offshore fields. More than 130 oilrigs off theBraziliancoastline: Around 40 fixedrigsand 90 floating ones.
The ExpansionofOil & Gas Offshore ExplorationandProduction in Brazil
BRAZILIAN PRE-SALT LAYER Extensionof 800 km. Upto300km farfromshoreline. Depths between 1,000 and 2,000 mt to the seabed and between 4,000 and 6,000 mt from the seabed down. Oil reserves may be up to 8,000 mt below the surface of the sea.
