Brazil's Oil Riches: Unveiling Opportunities and Challenges in the Energy Sector

This presentation by Renato T. Bertani at the University of Houston discusses Brazil's significant oil reserves and their implications for global energy management. It highlights the current energy matrix dominated by fossil fuels and explores the potential of pre-salt reservoirs in the Santos Basin. The presentation delves into technological challenges, supply opportunities, and future price scenarios, emphasizing the importance of innovation and strategic management in harnessing Brazil's oil wealth for sustainable energy solutions.

  1. Brazil’s Oil Riches:First found in people’s minds, againPresentation to the University of HoustonC. T. Bauer College of BusinessGlobal Energy Management Institute Renato T Bertani October 2008

  2. The Current Energy Matrix: fossil fuels are by far the largest source of energy Total Consumption: 462 quadrillion btu Total Consumption: 462 quadrillion btu OECD NON OECD Liquids: Conventional (oil, condensate, natural gas plant liquids, refinery gains) Non-Conventional (oil sands, extra heavy oil, biofuels, GTL, CTL) Source: EIA, Sept08

  3. Fossil Fuels will continue as the main source of energy Source: EIA, Sept 08 Liquids: Conventional (oil, condensate, natural gas plant liquids, refinery gains) Non-Conventional (oil sands, extra heavy oil, biofuels, GTL, CTL)

  4. Long Term Price Scenarios $150?? OIL PRICE $/BO VOLATILITY STABILITY $80 GAS PRICE $/BOE GAS PRICE $/BOE $40
