The success of Round 11 showed the global industry’s ongoing interest in the Brazilian upstream. But the opportunities have not stopped there. With a pre-salt auction set for October and a shale gas round to follow, Brazil will continue to be at the top of the list for a diverse set of companies looking to expand their E&P portfolios. M&A opportunities have also risen as Petrobras pursues its divestment plan and Brazilian independent E&P companies seek new partners.
How Energy Intelligence can help your organization in Brazil
This new era in Brazil is quite different from the country’s previous period of licensing opportunities that ended five years ago. The hydrocarbon sector regulatory framework and above-ground risk landscape have seen dramatic shifts. Competitor dynamics are also rapidly changing along with the opportunity set.
Energy Intelligence Research & Advisory can help clients understand and assess the opportunities Brazil offers in the context of this evolving above-ground risk and competitive landscape.
Using its proprietary above-ground risk assessment methodology, Energy Intelligence Research & Advisory offers clients an in-depth Brazil country study that can be tailored to the needs of individual clients. The risk study is a structural analysis of Brazilian politics, economics, hydrocarbon sector institutions, policy and regulations, as well as entry terms and operating conditions.
Complementing the above-ground risk study, Energy Intelligence Research & Advisory offers an assessment of the Brazilian upstream competitive landscape to help your company identify potential partners and competitors and develop an entry strategy. This assessment leverages the extensive expertise of our research analysts and company benchmarking capabilities through the Energy Intelligence Business & Competitive Intelligence retainer service and the Energy Intelligence Top 100: Global NOC & IOC Rankings analytical data tool.
