Oil And Gas Executive With Over 40 Years Of Experience Says That Macaé Will Orchestrate Operations In The Campos Basin Due To Decommissionings, Understand.
With the revitalization of mature fields in the Campos Basin, Macaé has already been confirmed as the focal city to perpetuate logistics and operational operations in the region by major companies. Sebastião Braz, an executive with over 20 years in the oil and gas sector and more than 40 years of experience as an engineer, says that the recovery of this market in the region places Macaé in a prominent position, being one of the most sought after by companies that will operate in these assets. Understand all of his considerations in detail:
Sebastião Braz, Oil And Gas Executive
-
Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.
-
Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.
-
Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.
It cannot be said that there is a recovery of the sector, but rather an adaptation to new needs. The assets that are already in a natural decline phase and the demobilization of some offshore platforms, are already leading the market to mold itself for new types of services. Naturally, with the absolute success of recent auctions, the entire sector is optimistic about the return of offshore operations.
What happens is that we have already completed the learning cycle in recent years and now is the time for recovery, without leaving aside everything we have achieved during these 40 years in the Campos Basin. The areas that are already established and returning with great strength are logistical support, construction and assembly structures, collection, and waste management.
There are caveats in stating whether service providers and oil companies are prepared for this new phase of the market. As mentioned, the entire operational system is already a practice. However, the market still suffers from the issue of the Lava Jato Operations. Many traditional companies in the engineering field are currently prevented from providing services to Petrobras, which is the current demander of contracts. The arrival or increased presence of foreign companies in Brazil also requires adjustments and differentiated demands; we are in a true “ambulant metamorphosis”.
These new companies that will establish themselves in the region will find an operational layout very far from standards. In fact, there is an estimate that in this first phase, they will incur some losses because the Campos Basin has very particular characteristics. Our logistics are different; the sedimentary basins are different… in other words, these are issues that may overshadow engineering itself. Naturally, these companies, mostly foreign, will have to absorb experienced professionals in these assets; there is no avoiding this, and the know-how is Brazilian.
Will Macaé Be Ready For The Recovery?
Macaé will continue to be the operational focus for these companies that will operate in the Campos Basin, but naturally, it needs adaptations, especially in terms of costs. The Porto do Açú is also greatly influencing the region due to its multiple utilities; Special Business Zones have even been created. Despite this, for now, there is no other location as well-prepared in terms of infrastructure, logistics, and technology as the city of Macaé in this sector.
