The document highlights that there are ten production systems in the licensing phase for operation in Rio between 2025 and 2028 in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin. The operation of new platforms is expected to generate R$ 300 million in ICMS for Rio de Janeiro.

The publication also shows that 200 new wells will be drilled in areas auctioned since 2017 offshore the state. Additionally, approximately R$ 2 billion in investments are estimated in the downstream segment by 2024.

The launch event for the Yearbook was attended by Firjan’s president, Eduardo Eugenio Gouvêa Vieira; the Secretary of Oil and Gas from the Ministry of Mines and Energy, José Mauro Ferreira Coelho; the acting director-general of the National Agency of Petroleum (ANP), Raphael Moura; among other executives from the oil and gas industry.

The study by Firjan also predicts that every R$ 1 billion in revenue generated by the activity can create 416 direct jobs and 2.7 thousand indirect jobs. The income effect was estimated at R$ 560 million in the country, with R$ 210 million absorbed by Rio.

According to Karine Fragoso, Manager of Oil, Gas, and Naval at Firjan and General Director of the National Organization of the Petroleum Industry (Onip), approximately 45% of the workforce in Rio de Janeiro was dedicated to this market in 2019. In 2017, 33% of jobs in RJ were in the supply chain for oil.

The state of Rio de Janeiro holds more than 80% of the known oil reserves, as well as the total production. According to Heloísa Esteves, secretary for oil at EPE, of the 39 production systems expected to be installed by 2030, 26 will be in Rio de Janeiro.
