Opening Remarks

Panel 1- Pre-salt and Beyond: Business Opportunities with Key Players in the E&P Market

Brazil is still the top destination for oil and gas exploration and production in Latin America. It's brimming with potential, especially with Petrobras and international oil companies (IOCs) taking on big projects in the Campos/Santos Basins and elsewhere in the country. What are the most exciting projects on the horizon? And what does the future look like for oil and gas companies and service providers in Brazil?

Panel 2 - Green Energy Revolution: What’s next after the Fuel of the Future? 

Leading clean energy player thanks to its considerable renewable energy capacity, Brazil’s approval of the Fuel of the Future Law leverages it to take its energy transition efforts one step further. Emerging clean energy segments such as green hydrogen, carbon capture and storage and SAF hold great potential for decarbonisation. What are the key developers in these sectors and what are the challenges they face?

Panel 3 - Underwater Infrastructure: Exploring Opportunities in Brazil's Subsea Market

A world leading subsea gear player, Brazil boasts manufacturing capabilities able to supply equipment to projects in the country and abroad. What does the current SURF and SPS market landscape look like and what innovative technologies are being developed in this sector?

Panel 4 - Beyond the Barrel: Unlocking Opportunities in Brazil's Refining Sector

With Brazilian pre-salt and onshore production on the rise, increase of crude processing capacity in refineries is a necessary step for achieving greater energy security. Stricter environmental norms also push for technological advancements in the domestic refining sector, resulting in oil derivatives with significantly reduced emissions.  As the country embarks on several refinery expansions and upgrades, how can the supply chain effectively seize opportunities to help strengthen the national downstream segment?

Panel 5 - Bridging the Energy Transition Gap: The Role of Natural Gas In Brazil

Benefiting from a reduced carbon footprint vis-à-vis other fossil fuels, natural gas is often touted as the "bridge" fuel for energy transition. This certainly resonates in Brazil, where major gas power plants, pipelines and LNG facilities are under development, and where increasing gas supply stimulates the domestic fertilizer industry. Following the Gas to Employ Decree in 2024, what are the key opportunities and challenges for natural gas players in Brazil?
