Offshore Brazil
Boom times for offshore Brazil
Brazil is implementing an ambitious plan for 2013–16, to improve the efficiency of its Campos basin fields and begin production from its massive pre-salt finds in the Santos basin. The domestic production target for oil, liquids and natural gas by 2016 is 3 MMboed. Over this time period, the exploration and production segment in Brazil will require an investment of $131.6 billion, of which 69% will be allocated for production development, 19% for exploration and 12% for infrastructure. Investment in the pre-salt cluster will account for 51% of total E&P investment.
