Event brings together experts and leaders from the energy sector to discuss the future of the Campos Basin and boost investments that promise to transform the energy matrix.
The Campos Basin will be the center of attention at the Connex-E Summit Preparatory, an event that will detail the more than R$130 billion in investments planned for the region. Promoted by the Organization of Oil Producing Municipalities (Ompetro), the meeting will take place on December 3, at Sesi-Guarus, in Campos dos Goytacazes, and will be attended by big names in the energy sector, as well as authorities and experts.
With the promise of generating more than 25 thousand jobs, the event puts on the agenda not only the future of the oil and natural gas industry in the Campos Basin, but also the transition to renewable energy and hydrogen. For Mayor Wladimir Garotinho, president of Ompetro, Connex-E is an opportunity to position associated municipalities as protagonists in the national energy scenario.
Big names and strategic themes
Confirmed participants include Symone Araújo, director of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), Roberto Ardenghy, president of IBP, and Rodrigo Lopes Sauaia, president of ABSOLAR. They will explore topics such as royalties, new businesses and the impact of investments on the region's production matrix.
