The Statement Was by the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, During a Visit to China and Oil and Gas Numbers and FPSOs Impress
After Negotiating with the Chinese About CNCC’s Interest in Resuming the Angra 3 Works, Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, took advantage of the trip to China to meet with the 20 largest entrepreneurs in the energy and oil and gas sector in the country.
The minister is presenting investment opportunities in Brazil to the Chinese, and naturally, the oil and gas market was highlighted in the discussions.
Bento Albuquerque impressed everyone by citing investment figures during the meeting where he presented projections for the oil and gas market in Brazil, made by the MME itself and also by the ANP.
According to him, about US$ 460 billion will be invested by 2040, with the country requiring a fleet of around 60 new FPSOs by then and approximately 600 new oil wells to be drilled.
