For the mayor, it was an extremely generous meeting, an unusual agenda that marks new events and new investments. Present at the meeting were businesspeople and individuals who have experienced the oil industry over the past 40 years, sharing insights about the importance and perspective within the municipality.
- The region is ready for a fresh start, preparing for a new fundamental cycle not only for the region but for all of Brazil. This demonstrates the vigor that the region still possesses. We have direct signals of investments of US$ 3.5 billion from Petrobras along with Exxon. We have the announcement of the bidding for the refurbishment of 39 platforms, creating three thousand direct jobs. A fresh start with efficiency, competence, new jobs, and avoiding waste – pointed out Dr. Aluizio.
For Pedro Parente, this visit marks the 40 years of the Campos Basin. “We simply came to express our gratitude to the city hall and the representative of the public authority for how the city has welcomed us over the past 40 years and wish for another 40 years to also be positive in wealth generation. We will present in the coming days the revision of the Business Plan, which will contain relevant investments in the region from a qualitative point of view. The outlook is very positive – explained the president of Petrobras.
According to Parente, Petrobras is working on the financial recovery of the state-owned company. “The company still has a very large debt. We are working to resolve this issue. Despite this debt, it is still the company that invests the most in our country. We will continue investing about US$ 15 billion per year. Therefore, for the next five years, a total of approximately US$ 75 billion will likely be invested,” he said.
The announcement of investments by Petrobras in refurbishing 39 oil platforms in the Campos Basin, aiming to increase production, could receive investments of R$ 3 billion and generate at least three thousand direct jobs, according to projections from Abespetro, an association that brings together service companies for the oil industry.
Less Royalties, More Jobs
Regarding the reduction of the royalty rate from 10% to 5%: “It is very important to understand the logic of the proposal. The logic of the proposal is simple. If the royalties are kept at this initial level, it will be the moment when, with this value, we are forced to halt operations because they do not yield returns. But if royalties are reduced, we can continue this exploration and even use part of this reduction to invest in the improvement of the fields. Therefore, it is not about reducing royalty payments. In reality, we talk about increasing royalty payments. Why? Because by making this reduction in certain fields, it means extending the useful life of that field,” Pedro Parente explained.
