The Yearbook is produced by the Findes Industry Observatory, with support from Sebrae, the Capixaba Oil, Gas and Energy Forum (FCPGE), the National Organization of Oil Industry (Onip), and the Brazilian Institute of Oil (IBP).
It brings together the most important data and analyses of the sector and presents a projection of oil and gas production in the next five years. The current edition demonstrates a strong potential for expansion in the state’s production capacity.
According to the president of Findes, Cris Samorini, the planned projects will contribute to the increase in extraction and mentioned that the Yearbook contains investment prospects of R$ 8.8 billion by 2027, involving companies like Petrobras, Shell, Seacrest Petróleo, Imetame, EnP, PRio, Repsol, Equinor, and others.
“With new companies and investments offshore, as well as onshore, we will once again see capixaba production growing, and knowing this, we can take advantage of the opportunities that arise,” said the expert.

In addition to Cris Samorini, other experts in the offshore oil market highlighted the high potential of Espírito Santo in the coming years.
The chief economist of Findes and executive manager of the Industry Observatory, Marília Silva, explained that starting in 2025, a trend of reversal in the decline of both oil and natural gas exploration is expected.
The Yearbook indicates that oil extraction at sea is expected to increase from the current 47.7 million barrels per year in 2022 to 87.8 million barrels per year by 2027.
In the case of gas, production is projected to rise from 1.2 billion m³ in 2022 to 2.4 billion m³ in 2027. Meanwhile, the Business Environment Manager of the Findes Industry Observatory, Gabriela Vichi, commented on Petrobras’s project in the region.
“The expectation is that the new platform will be operating in the last quarter of 2024. PRio intends to drill 4 production wells and 2 injectors, with the first oil expected in the first half of 2024,” she said.
Thus, the projections for the future of offshore oil and natural gas production in Espírito Santo demonstrate strong optimism from the regional market.
