The week started with excellent news for the Naval, Offshore and Oil and Gas Industry in Rio de Janeiro! The state should receive an important portion of the investments scheduled by the oil companies Shell and Equinor for Brazil, helping to move the Rio de Janeiro naval industry. Representatives of two of the main players in the oil and gas sector announced yesterday (13) new investments, during a virtual meeting of the Special Commission for Naval, Offshore and Oil and Gas Industry of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj). Executives and parliamentarians also discussed how public power can help boost the maritime industry.

According to Shell's government relations manager, Thomas Lucena, the company developed 160 research and innovation projects in Brazil, and that 82 of them were carried out in Rio de Janeiro. Furthermore, Lucena said that the company should invest more than R$1,6 billion in Brazil in the next five years.

“Half of the projects carried out by Shell have an institution located in the state of Rio as their primary executor, there are 42 developed with universities and another 40 with research institutions or our suppliers. UFRJ is a great partner of ours. From 2016 to 2020, we had 29 initiatives with them, totaling R$360 million in investment. There are 16 laboratories and 360 professionals involved”, he pointed out.

Equinor has already invested US$11 billion and will provide another US$15 billion by 2030.

Equinor’s director of contracts and supplies, Rafael Amaral, said that the company – present in Brazil for 20 years – has already invested US$11 billion and will provide another US$15 billion by 2030.

“We intend to allocate this investment to the development of projects, operation and maintenance and renewable resources. In the middle of this budget, there is the contracting of providers and suppliers from Rio de Janeiro, which will contribute to the generation of jobs and income in the state”, he commented.

President of the commission, congresswoman Célia Jordão once again emphasized the importance of the role of the public power that can help the private sector to invest even more in Brazilian suppliers, generating more jobs especially for citizens of Rio de Janeiro, shipyards and the production chain.

— It is necessary to reinforce listening to the offshore shipbuilding industry to understand how the state and federal spheres can contribute to the improvement of this economic scenario. In this way, companies operating in Brazil will also be able to contribute to the economy of our state - said Célia Jordão (Patriota).
