We hope you’ll join us at our annual forum as we explore issues of central importance to your family’s future.

Sitting upon 12.2 billion gallons of oil reserves, Brazil is one of the world’s fastest growing oil producers. Last year’s discovery of vast offshore reserves made Brazil the stage for the most current open ocean deepwater extraction strategies.

To profit from Brazil’s rich reserves, oil executives need a thorough understanding of the local regulatory regime. Companies are lining up to bid for onshore and shallow water development blocks. 

Oil & Gas Outlook Brasil provides two full conference days on Brazilian upstream operations, with keynote presentations and panels on the current regulations, conditions and strategies for exploration and production and options for financing your operation.  It is the only conference with an international speaker staff exclusively focused on Brazil.

Oil & Gas Outlook Brasil is designed to address how oil companies can successfully finance, plan and execute these projects.  Delegates will learn how to profit from difficult-to-reach deepwater oil fields as well as shallow water and onshore fields using new equipment and techniques.

Brazil has shown that it will take a leading role in the future of oil production. Oil & Gas Outlook Brasil will introduce you to the strategies and people who will allow you to successfully operate as part of this new stage.
