摘要

BRAZIL, AND BRAZILIAN state oil company Petrobras in particular, are known globally as leaders in deepwater and ultra-deepwater exploration and production, setting numerous deepwater exploration and production records along the way toward its goal of becoming energy self-sufficient by 2007. While several independent oil companies are active offshore Brazil, Petrobras is by far the most active, with E&P plans totaling in the several billions of dollars over the next few years.
