摘要

In Canada and North America, independents account for more than half the jobs in the E&P sector. In Brazil, however, independents create less than 5% of E&P jobs. This is not so surprising when one considers that the North American E&P industry is more than 150 years old, whereas the first open bidding rounds in Brazil started fewer than 10 years ago.
