Brazil Officials Hail New Auctions, Regulations as 'Historic'

摘要

An auction calendar and substantial changes to regulations represent nothing short of an “historic” moment for Brazil, officials said. "This is the largest transformation ever in the history of our industry since Petrobras was founded in the 1950s. It will open up a huge window of opportunity for companies,” Decio Oddone, director of Brazil's oil regulator ANP, told the Offshore Technology Conference Monday in Houston. Flanked by Marcio Felix, Brazil's oil and gas secretary, and Jorge Camargo, director of the Brazilian Petroleum Institute (IBP), Oddone painted a picture of what Brazil might look like after 10 scheduled auctions are carried out.
