 Brazil is the largest oil producer in South America, the ninth largest global oil producer, seventh largest oil consumer, and has the largest recoverable ultra-deep oil reserves in the world. Brazil’s oil production is predominantly offshore (94 percent), with national oil company accounting for 92 percent of Brazil’s oil and gas production. The oil and gas market has, for years, accounted for most investments in the Brazilian economy, with over 10% of the country’s GDP. Brazil is placed in a leading position in the exploration and production of offshore oil due to owning the prolific pre-salt province, whose oil is of high quality, and the productivity of the fields is equally high. The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights the relevance of Brazil, which will become responsible for the production of about 50% of the world's offshore oil in 2040, about 5.2 million barrels/day.
Significant energy reforms, frequent oil finds, along with recent and future oil bidding rounds have been attracting International Oil Companies (IOCs) from around the world to bid on opportunities in Brazil. Furthermore, some international companies have also started to show interest and invest in the Brazilian downstream subsector through the acquisition of gas pipeline networks and the construction of liquefied natural gas terminals.
There is an increased potential for U.S. exports of equipment and services, with lower local content requirements. New investments in exploration, production, and refining by Brazil’s national oil company Petrobras and others are estimated at US$100 billion over the next several years.
