Offshore chain growth in Macaé boosts suppliers, industrial services, and energy solutions with strong advancement until 2026
Accelerated growth of offshore industrial demand in Macaé
Firstly, the resumption of investments in oil and gas is already starting to directly impact the economy of Macaé (RJ), the main offshore base in the country.
Moreover, according to data released by Tecnogera, by 2026, the demand for industrial equipment and solutions could advance by up to 396% between 2024 and 2026, following the reactivation of projects in the Campos Basin.

90 billion barrels of oil, 1.669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 84% of probable reserves in offshore areas are under the Arctic, and the melting ice that opens maritime routes and exposes this energy treasure is turning the North Pole into a strategic dispute between the USA, Russia, China, and Canada for oil, gas, navigation, and military power.

IBS and CBS regulations change credit reimbursement and raise financial alert in the oil and gas industry
-
China puts into operation the largest shallow lithology offshore field in the country, with 79 wells, heavy oil, and a production of 20,000 barrels per day.

Petrobras announces an investment of R$ 2.8 billion in Amazonas to expand natural gas production in Urucu and modernize the river fleet, boosting energy, logistics, and the regional economy with new vessels adapted for operation in the Amazon.
In this sense, this advancement occurs especially with the increase of operations in mature fields, which have been progressively reactivated since 2024.
Operational expansion and impact on the supplier chain
At the same time, this movement reinforces the gradual resumption of the offshore production chain, which begins to directly impact service and infrastructure suppliers.
On the other hand, according to Tecnogera itself, the operational volume of the unit in Macaé is expected to jump from 30,346 in 2024 to around 150,587 in 2026.
Additionally, between 2024 and 2025, an approximate growth of 163% has already been recorded, indicating a consistent acceleration of industrial demand.
Consequently, this evolution has been perceived by companies operating in logistics, energy, and offshore operational support.
Recent investments and job creation in the region
In parallel, the company started its operations in Macaé in late 2024, with an estimated investment of R$ 100 million.
As a result, the unit began to serve industrial and logistical operations related to the offshore sector, consolidating a strategic presence in the region.
Currently, around 200 direct and indirect jobs have already been created, strengthening the local economy.
Segments with the highest growth until 2026
Furthermore, some segments are showing faster growth within the local operation:
- Temporary energy: expected to grow by about 235% until 2026, representing approximately 63% of the operation
- Industrial access: estimated expansion of 289%, following the demand for support in complex operations
- Industrial compressors: a new business front, aligned with the need for reliable equipment
Thus, these areas reflect the growing demand for operational continuity and efficiency in offshore activities.
Discussions at Macaé Energy 2026 reinforce resumption scenario
In this context, the topic gained prominence during the Macaé Energy 2026, held from March 17 to 19, 2026.
During the event, companies and experts discussed the sector’s prospects in Brazil, focusing on the expansion of offshore operations.
Thus, the meeting consolidated the perception that the oil and gas chain is experiencing a new growth cycle.
Expectation of advancement across the offshore chain
Finally, according to Jorge Moreno, director of New Business at Tecnogera, the resumption of investments has broad effects.
According to him, “the demand for solutions that ensure efficiency and operational continuity is being expanded”.
Moreover, this scenario requires greater infrastructure support for increasingly complex operations.
Therefore, as investments advance, the entire offshore chain tends to expand consistently — which raises an important question: will this growth be sustainable in the long term?
