According to the Executive Secretary of Abespetro, Gilson Coelho, “After the auction phase and the signing of contracts, we have now entered the development phase of production projects. The pandemic caused a downturn in activities in Brazil, but did not suspend the development of these strategies. With the gradual recovery of the global economy, the oil industry in Brazil will also continue its investments to increase oil and gas production.”
According to information from the Brazilian Association of Oil Service Companies (Abespetro), over 200,000 offshore jobs will be created with the resurgence of the oil and gas sector in Brazil, and the city of Macaé will be the biggest beneficiary.

In simple math, if every bolt, oil, and service from the offshore industry is purchased and contracted here, our stores and companies will hire more, take many people out of informality, and ensure that the daily bread is never lacking on the tables of the people of Macaé,” says Marcelo Reid (Merrel), a member of the Municipal Commission of Firjan.
