New oil reserves in the Equatorial Margin, with a potential of up to 5,6 billion barrels, promise to double pre-salt production and guarantee Brazil's energy future. Discover how this discovery can transform the regional economy and ensure the country's energy security!
The discovery of a gigantic oil reserve in the Equatorial Margin could change Brazil's energy future. With potential for up to 5,6 billion barrels of oil, this new reserve is twice the size of the pre-salt, according to the renowned geophysicist and YouTuber Sergio Sacani.
In an interview with Irmãos Dias Podcast, Sérgio Sacani highlighted the strategic importance of this discovery, warning of a alarming scenario if new reserves are not explored. “Every oil field has a production curve, it peaks and then starts to fall,” he explained.
“The pre-salt will go into depression in 2027, if we don’t find anything and start producing we will be left with a hole, then the situation will get ugly, we will have to buy oil and the price could skyrocket”, he added during the conversation.

The Equatorial Margin reserves represent crucial hope for the future of Petrobras. The state-owned company has already designed an ambitious business plan for the period from 2024 to 2028, with investments of US$3,1 billion in the region.
These reserves are seen not only as the key to maintaining the level of oil production in the coming decades, but also as a fundamental pillar for the transition to a green economy and the country's energy security.
At the end of September, Ibama granted authorization for Petrobras to carry out research in two blocks in the Potiguar basin, and the state-owned company has already started drilling to confirm the reserves. However, these operations do not yet include block FZA-M-59, located in the Foz do Amazonas Basin, on the coast of Amapá, which is awaiting an environmental license.
Petrobras' internal studies suggest that this block could contain up to 5,6 billion barrels of oil, representing a significant increase of 37% in Brazilian reserves, currently estimated at 14,8 billion barrels.
Sérgio Sacani also highlighted the economic importance of the Equatorial Margin, mentioning the significant increases in GDP in French Guiana and Suriname due to oil. “French Guiana's GDP increased last year by 62% due to this oil, Suriname's by 40 percent. In front of the state of Amapá is this large Brazilian margin. The problem is that it is in front of the mouth of the Amazon River,” he said.
For him, The economic impact of this discovery cannot be underestimated. The strategic location of the Equatorial Margin, in front of the state of Amapá, brings challenges due to its proximity to the mouth of the Amazon River. However, successful exploitation of this reserve could transform the regional economy and guarantee Brazil's energy security in the coming decades.
Do you believe that this new discovery can really guarantee Brazil's energy security in the coming decades or do you think the country will let this opportunity pass by? Leave your opinion in the comments!
Wealth for politicians and people in the same slavery with minimum wage rich richer poor poorer
What does one thing have to do with the other, my brother? You're kidding me!
Oil, more money in the hands of politicians. Got it!
LOL for you **** and **** ****; you are worse than ****, you are a supporter of Judge ****'s ideas, today making a duo for two.
Like some here, he is more of a Frustrated and **** ****; Bark and the Carriage will Pass to the Future.
Aledala, no insults or swearing please! Post your ideas, but do not offend others, otherwise there is no way to keep your profile with us. Thank you for your understanding.
Brazilians need to stop with the utopia of working with a formal contract and be more entrepreneurial. The CLT takes 200 bucks per month from workers and returns 2 thousand reais upon retirement. If this amount is saved during the 35 years, the citizen will have 2,5 million in the bank.
And who will the entrepreneur hire to work for him? Artificial intelligence? Robots?
Have you ever heard of a startup?
The way things are going, there will be no more human labor in industries, only robots, and that won't be long.
The question is this: how does it impact the less privileged people? Isn't Petrobras' income already absurd considering that it is a product extracted from the land where we all live? The price of gasoline has never gone down since I can remember. What kind of Brazil is this? Where everyone lives here and there.
And the worst example comes from above.
Good morning everyone
Correction: “by itself”
Alcohol, which emerged as a competitor to gasoline to balance prices, has become more expensive despite being less polluting.
National Wealth that is not shared among the Nation.
Yes, self-sufficiency. Otherwise, Guyana will suck it all up.
In these complicated times we are currently living in, where the issue of hydrocarbon exploration is increasingly difficult due to environmental impacts and other problems arising from oil activities, it is necessary to prepare well to extract this oil from the mouth of the Amazon River. It cannot be stored away; it has to be extracted. All prospecting, exploration and extraction activities must be well supported by robust studies that allow things to be done with the commitment to protect the entire target area. In fact, this is a challenge, especially for Petrobras, since it would serve to guarantee Brazil's energy security in the coming decades. On the other hand, if exploration is successful, it will also benefit the regional economy, improving the living conditions of the citizens of the states of Amapá and Pará in particular.
With today's government, Brazil could be immersed in wealth and all of it would just go into the pockets of its companions.
Well said, it goes to the hands of the **** of 9 pretenders and all the others…
The Devil's 'Little Sister' is coming strong in 2026…
You lost Mané!!!
Go moo in another cattle pasture!!!
**** to all **** scammers!!!
And without AMNESTY!
Stop being a smoker, mané PTralha 😂😂
Oh ****, your problem is being alienated.
Are you talking about ****'s family? Where everyone is a crook, no one escapes.
You lost Mané!!!
Go moo in another cattle pasture!!!
I C@dei@ NOW to all the military **** coup plotters!!!
And without AMNESTY!
Yes from l***
Dude. You're such a pessimist. There's never been an honest government in this country and you're acting like an idiot as if we've never been robbed. Give me a break.
The misgovernment of your 'Myth' wanted to privatize Petrobras, but was unable to do so because, fortunately, he was not reelected. It is worth remembering...
So much ignorance. Petrobras has already been privatized. It is in the hands of incompetents. Wealth is not shared with the people. Fuel prices have gone up. The State does not generate wealth, it consumes it with its comrades.
Fuel prices went up? Well, well, we have a comedian here... Will a liter of gasoline reach R$8,40 as it was charged here in RJ, with your 'Myth'. You will have a new chance to privatize Petrobras, the Devil's 'Little Sister' is coming strong in 2026...
If it were with ****, today it would be around 12,00 per liter…
I won't even talk about the price of cooking gas, which according to Guedes, with privatizations, free competition would become a bargain... believe me... hahaha
Will pass.
If with the global pandemic and everything being shut down, it went to 8 and then started to go down, why now without the pandemic is gasoline already over 6 reais and ethanol 4???
Fuel prices went up when the refineries were privatized, I can speak well of this because I live in Salvador and pay the most expensive gasoline in the country even though it has the largest refinery in Brazil.
There are not enough refineries in Brazil, you 1di0ta! The convicted M@rginal and his cr1min0sa organization diverted the money.
You're still being more ****!!!! You're blindfolded, you ****, you can't see what your crazy myth of **** also sold the refinery for less than half the price...
Open your eyes and see ****….
If it is more expensive, it is the fault of the ICMS, which is a state tax, which in BAHIA is traditionally PT. **** tried to lower the ICMS.
You should check the facts and not be like a parrot repeating what this rotten press says. Your **** in your government is the one who chopped up Petrobras and today the government is not the exclusive owner of the company. So go study, research and then make some comment.
Without reaching A or B, I have an example of privatization. I worked in a state-owned company for 30 years. While it was a state-owned company, it was always in the red. The government appointees ate everything. Privatization was only profit. Be careful with Petrobras. A quagmire is coming soon.
You lost, Mané!
IT TOOK A LONG TIME BUT C@deia to all the **** scammers!!!
And without AMNESTY!
Profit for whose pocket, my friend? Public companies do not necessarily need to make a profit, but to produce for the benefit of the state, the people.
True, congratulations.
We all know who stole Petrobrás
It's good to remember that the M@rginal that you, grass eaters, idolize, almost bankrupted Petrobrás.
Is it your message that promised picanha to those who voted for him? He came in, gave the **** to braise and I thought it would never happen.
Is your message that you promised picanha to those who voted for him? He came in, gave the pika to braise and I thought it would never happen.
And that is what must be done!! Privatize Petrobras immediately to take it out of the hands of the scoundrels who live sucking on the company and who go around shouting that Petrobras is ours and should not be privatized!! Understand that privatizing Petrobras does not mean selling the reserves, but the company and its affiliates.
Yes, be proud...or do you want the **** back to continue handing over our riches to foreigners...get informed man...don't be ****...
Boy, the Amazon is being donated to foreigners...NGOs, NGOs, they are taking all the riches...Whoever can stop it is keeping quiet.
He talked a lot, but he only said nonsense...
You lost Mané!!!
Go moo in another cattle pasture!!!
**** for all ****, **** ****!!!
And without AMNESTY!
****
Boy….your annoying little record player only knows how to repeat what its trainer owner taught it to say or post?!?!
Imagine if it was the previous one, then what? …
A bozonazi certainly spoke! Oh my God, not even AI will be able to fix these brains deformed by ****!
“with robust studies that allow us to do things with the commitment to protecting the entire target area.”
We saw what happened with Bolsonaro, who literally burned everything for money. Let's see what will happen now.
The future is green energy. We have wind, rivers, sun, we have everything we need to make this energy transition happen, but it seems like we are 50 years behind everyone else. The discovery of these fossil fuels will only delay the transition even further. It's just an excuse they make. Don't fall for it.
Find out how many hectares were burned during this mismanagement 😉
Yes, it's true. People, when you make comments, be reasonable. We all know that energy should and MUST be a good that promotes investment for the Brazilian population. However, depending on the right and extreme right, everything will fall into the hands of private companies that will regulate prices in the clouds; at the same time, the employees of this company will pay slave wages and distribute the profits to their half a dozen shareholders (BILLIONS OF REAIS). So, pay attention to what you intend to choose. Energy, regardless of its origin (hydroelectric, oil, wind, solar, etc.) is ours, from Brazil, and therefore IT MUST BE ACCESSIBLE and the profits from these energies converted into investments here for the population (infrastructure, technology, education, health, security, etc.).
Look at China: it has several gigantic state-owned companies serving the common good managed by the State and FOR the State to have investment power. Of course, all of this with the necessary rigidity and seriousness to avoid corruption and misappropriation of funds.
Here's a tip for a healthy debate.
More money for the politicians' pockets, what will change for the people of Amapá? Nothing. It will be the second Guyana, where wealth will be concentrated in the hands of the rich, and the poor from the outskirts and slum dwellers will continue to live in misery.
With so much wealth, it can generate more jobs… that’s it. For the poor, it’s already good news.
PTista doesn't like to work, he wants the government to give him everything.
The name of this is capitalism.
As the text says, the reserve is Petrobrás' joy.
Exactly, commanded by Lulipetismo. Then the herd will really fill their pockets with bribes and the like and the people will take tobacco and ****.
It will only be Petrobras' joy because its jeweler president was unable to get reelected to sell the company, as he repeatedly said he intended to do.
Otherwise, it would be the joy of Texaco, Chevron, Shell, Mubadala, or any other foreign company that paid the best bribe to the **** jewel thief of **** and the **** of leeches around him.
You are very out of date, right? This persecution that started with eight million and is now 400.000 is already being denied.
Just because you believe what you want… accustomed to fake news
Have you ever researched that the most developed countries do not have a state-owned oil exploration company, everything is done by the private sector?
It would be good if the government was still in Bolsonaro's hands, as he is honest, he and his family would certainly have already sold this reserve to an Arab country for a few hundred jewels and everything would be fine for these **** people who do not know that the largest investment in oil research and production in Brazil was made in Lula's governments and we have no news that he received jewels in return, in fact he approved a law that divided among all the states the oil production fees for education, health and public safety, and prohibited foreign companies from having more than 21% of the exploration quota, that's why they carried out the coup against Dilma, to sell the exploration of the Pre-Salt.
Very well remembered. No one has done more for Petrobras, the Armed Forces, the Federal Police, the Environment, Science, the Arts and the poor than the PT, which is not exempt from criticism, but which nevertheless causes discomfort because it does it.
🙌👏👏👏✍️
Unfortunately, according to the comments, thousands of people still remain as perfect pawns of the militant media, an important part of the System. They can get everything they want to put in people's minds, they do everything they can to destroy their "adversaries", political or not, and they count on these pawns, with cauterized minds that do not do the slightest research, in reliable sources, to have an idea, at least, closer to reality. They got hung up on the case of the jewelry theft, a big lie and with the strong support of these pawns. I am not a Bols voter... much less of a thief, I just try to inform myself and not be a puppet of the System.
LOL for you **** and **** ****; you are worse than ****, you are a supporter of Judge ****'s ideas, today making a duo for two, BostaN'Água.
Like some here, he is more of a Frustrated and **** ****; Bark and the Carriage will Pass to the Future.
He did a good job on these Frustrated Lying Bad Characters.
I just don't know why, in the Petrobras investigation, numerous directors of Petrobras from the PT Era were arrested, prosecuted and returned 6 billion.
LOL
The satanine who took money from health, education and Bolsa Família while filling our **** with more and more taxes??
Did you see all this through Globo and its affiliates? Petrobras is not a genuinely state-owned company. It has foreign capital involved in it, which holds a considerable amount of shares. The government has a majority shareholding and that is where the danger lies. In the hands of a wrong ruler (which is the case of the current one), this company suffers the blows of corruption and political interests, and the government still argues because of the gigantic profits of foreign shareholders (he was one of the causes of this invasion of foreign capital in the company). Which investor would put money in a Brazilian company without aiming for profit? Only in the little **** head of a socialist; Petrobras has to be privatized. A country that respects itself and has statesmanlike rulers will not worry about oil production. That is the responsibility of the private sector, as developed countries do, which do not have state-owned oil companies. Everything is done by independent companies. The state only supervises, because its role is to take care of the education, health and safety of the people that constitute it.
This ****'s stupidity is limitless!
