Contracts for Research and Development Projects Signed with Resources Authorized by ANP, Measure Will Bring Resources from Oil, Gas, and Mining
Today (12/16), in Rio de Janeiro, the signing ceremony of the cooperation terms for the implementation of R&D projects aimed at improving laboratory infrastructure took place, resulting from the partnership between the Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB-CPRM), Petrobras, and ANP. Three projects are scheduled to be financed with resources from the Research, Development, and Innovation (R&D&I) Clause, authorized by ANP. The total investment is estimated to be around R$ 220 million.
- Job Openings for Helper, Welder, Mechanic, and More Announced by a Bus Manufacturing Multinational
- Job Opportunities Abroad with Stat Marine
- Job Openings for Operator in a Service Company in the State of São Paulo
- Construction of IFF Expected to Resume in 2020 and Should Generate Hundreds of Jobs in the Municipality of Itaboraí, RJ
At the opening of the ceremony, ANP Director Felipe Kury stated that “the partnership of the Agency with CPRM is the beginning of a journey that will bring important results for the oil and gas sector and for mining, with significant contributions to society.”
Also present at the opening table were the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, the Director of the Department of Derived Fuels of the MME, Marisa Maia de Barros, the Secretary of Geology, Mining, and Mineral Transformation of MME and President of the Board of Directors of SGB-CPRM, Alexandre Vidigal, the CEO of SGB-CPRM, Esteves Pedro Colnago, and the CEO of Petrobras, Roberto Castello Branco.

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.

Among the projects is the revitalization of the Earth Sciences Museum, located in Urca, Rio de Janeiro, and its associated laboratory set. The project will be completed by 2022, the year of the bicentennial of Brazil’s Independence.
Housed in a historic building that was partially affected by a fire in 1973, the museum will have its space of 22,000 square meters reorganized and modernized. The building has a strong connection with the mineral and oil and gas sectors, as from its facilities emerged Petrobras, the Geological Survey of Brazil, and CNP. The laboratory and equipment infrastructure will be expanded, allowing the development of a series of R&D&I projects both independently and in partnership with other institutions.
The Earth Museum currently has the largest collection of fossils in Brazil, with a significant collection in the areas of paleontology, mineralogy, petrology, and meteoritics, as well as a vast bibliographic and documentary collection, valuable iconographic assets (such as maps and photographs), and scientific equipment.
The ANP has also approved the executive projects for the construction of the SGB Network for R&D&I with Rocks and Fluids from Oil Basins, covering the North, Northeast, and Southeast units. The network will comprise three lithotheques located in Rio de Janeiro, Feira de Santana, and Manaus, which together will house one of the world’s largest collections of mineral samples.
The third project will be the Center for References in Geosciences, at the UFRJ Technology Park, which will bring together low and high-temperature geochronology and isotopy laboratories aimed at accelerating geological knowledge of Brazil, especially of sedimentary basins, in order to develop the oil, gas, and mining sectors. This complex will place the Geological Survey of Brazil on par with the most important geological services worldwide such as USGS (USA), CSC (Canada), and GA (Australia).
The R&D&I Clause is part of the contracts for oil and gas exploration and production and aims to stimulate research and the adoption of new technologies for the sector. It mandates that fields with high production must invest a percentage of their gross revenue in research, development, and innovation (1% for concession and sharing contracts and 0.5% for onerous assignment). ANP is responsible for the analysis, approval, monitoring, and oversight of the application of resources from the R&D&I Clause.
