The week has already started with the highest barrel price in the last 4 years (US$ 81.87 brent) and it is expected that the price will continue to rise. Venezuela, for example, has reduced its production due to the crisis (from 3 million barrels/day to 1 million by next year) and Iran is suffering political retaliation from the U.S. government. All of this combines to create a competitive scenario for Brazilian pre-salt and positive expectations for the auctions.
