The rise in oil prices puts Brazil in a strategic advantage and projects a trade surplus of US$ 90 billion, boosting exports and creating a highly favorable and unexpected economic scenario.
“There is a whole industry involved in decommissioning activities, from engineering design to shipyards, generating jobs and income throughout this entire chain. Worldwide, it is estimated that at least US$ 85 billion will be spent on decommissioning this decade. In Brazil, this industry is expected to generate R$ 28 billion by 2025, between well dismantling and abandonment, area recovery, and equipment removal. Most of these resources will go to the Campos and Santos basins, but there will also be opportunities in almost all regions of the country, such as in the Potiguar, Sergipe-Alagoas, Solimões, and Amazonas basins,” said Rodolfo Saboia.
Also present at the launch of the Offshore Decommissioning Notebook in Brazil were the Superintendent of Operational Safety and Environment of ANP, Raphael Moura, as well as representatives from FGV and companies in the oil and gas sector.
The event delved into diagnostics regarding the decommissioning activity in Brazil, through the perspectives of different stakeholders, aiming to address opportunities, challenges, and solutions, as well as to clarify to society the possibilities of this activity in Brazil.
