•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

OIL
Sector organization
Petrobras
State-controlled
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, Galp Energia, 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 Agência Nacional do Petróleo (ANP), which is
responsible for issuing exploration and production licenses and ensuring
compliance with relevant regulations
