在今年的海上技术会议（OTC）上，来自巴西的行业代表登上舞台和讲台，阐述了该国将如何实现扩张目标，同时管理迅速成为负担的老旧基础设施。

其中大部分努力将落在巴西石油公司的肩上，该公司已将 2025 年至 2029 年期间的勘探预算增加到 770 亿美元，以开拓新领域并提高产量，同时继续致力于能源转型和到 2050 年实现净零排放的目标。

巴西石油首席执行官玛格达·尚布里亚德在休斯顿会议上表示：“我们认为巴西石油是全球十大石油生产商之一，也是全球十大勘探公司之一。今年我们将新增22.5万桶/日的石油产量。这对我们公司、我们的国家乃至全世界都意义重大。”

她是在宣布巴西石油公司的新支出计划包括未来 5 年在巴西东南盆地、北部赤道边缘以及其本土海域以外增加 14 个新平台时发表上述言论的。

近几个月来，油价持续下跌，但油田设备和服务的成本却在上涨。尚布里亚尔在谈到这些压力时强调，国家石油公司已做好准备。

她表示：“我们一直在挑战我们的员工和供应商，让他们正面应对这些问题。”

At this year’s Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), industry representatives from Brazil took to the stage and podium, laying out how the country will hit expansion targets while managing an aging infrastructure that’s quickly becoming a liability.

Much of that effort will rest on the shoulders of Petrobras which has increased its exploration budget for the period between 2025 and 2029 to $77 billion to tap into new frontiers and boost production, all while staying committed to the energy transition and its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

“We see Petrobras as one of the top 10 producers in the world and one of the top 10 explorers in the world,” Petrobras CEO Magda Chambriard said during the conference in Houston. “We will be adding 225,000 new [B/D] to the market this year. This is huge for our company, our country, and the world.”

Her remarks came while announcing that Petrobras’ new spending plan includes the addition of 14 new platforms over the next 5 years in Brazil’s southeastern basins, the northern equatorial margin, and beyond its home waters.

While oil prices have been trending down in recent months, the cost of oilfield equipment and services is on the rise. Chambriard addressed these strains while emphasizing that the national oil company is well positioned.

“I’ve been challenging our staff, as well as our suppliers, to confront these issues head-on,” she said.
