Rodolfo Henrique de Saboia Is The New Leader Of The National Petroleum Agency (ANP), Chosen By Bolsonaro

Jair Bolsonaro announced yesterday the appointment of Rodolfo Henrique de Saboia to lead the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels). He will replace engineer Décio Oddone, who requested resignation in January.

Rodolfo is currently the Superintendent of Environmental Affairs at the Directorate of Ports and Coasts of the Navy. His appointment is seen as a sign of the influence of the Minister of Mines and Energy, Admiral Bento Albuquerque, over the President of the Republic.

The ANP, known for its responsibility in regulating the country’s oil and fuel sectors, defines rules and supervises everything from exploration to fuel stations. In recent years, it has helped the government raise billions through auctions of exploratory areas.

Décio Oddone decided to end his term early in a letter sent to the government on January 26, stating that he had already fulfilled a mission and that he would leave the government free to choose the general director before two other board vacancies whose terms also end in 2020.

Oddone was to stay until March 27, to attend the signing ceremony of the contracts for the mega auction of the pre-salt last week, but the event was canceled. His dismissal was also made yesterday.
