Brazil: An economic superpower, and now oil too

Posted by Matt in April 17th, 2008

Oil could transform Brazil’s economy. But not necessarily for the better

THE legend is that Brazil never lives up to its vast potential. When Stefan Zweig, an exiled Austrian writer, said in 1941 of his new home that it was the “country of the future”, popular humour quickly added the rider “and it always will be”. More recently, when Goldman Sachs bracketed Brazil with Russia, India and China as the “BRIC” countries that collectively represent the world’s economic future, there was much muttering that its mediocre rate of economic growth condemned it to be an interloper in such dynamic company.

Yet there are reasons to believe that South America’s economic powerhouse of 190m people is starting to count in the world.

Brazil rides out the 'oil storm' - 21 Jun 08
While much of the world grapples with the current fuel crisis, Brazil is one country that's been able to ride out the storm. This is attributed to the country producing almost all the fuel it needs. With many natural gas and oil fields still untapped, Petrobras - the country's state-owned oil company - is set to become a big player in the region. Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman took an inside look at the company's workings.

Brazil emerges as an oil giant
While many Latin American countries have seen their oil production dip, Brazils state-controlled Petrobras — the biggest company in Brazil — is working to access the billions of barrels of crude oil that rest beneath the countrys waters over the next few years. The companys 48,986-ton P-51 oil platform rests over a hundred miles off the coast of Brazil and is the first semisubmersible platform built entirely in Brazil. It may produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day.

Oil Discovery in Brazil
"Ooooo, Aaaaah, I'm all pumped up and just can't stop from stepping the samba!" *Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobas announced the discovery of a gigantic oil field Tupi, off Brazil's southeastern Atlantic coast, last November. The Tupi field reserves to between 5 billion and 8 billion barrels which is equivalent to 40 percent of all the oil discoveries in Brazil. In April, Petrobas says that it has discovered a new offshore oil field off the coast of Rio de Janeiro which is waiting to be confirmed. The new monster oil field appears to be the world's third-largest oil and gas reserve, bearing an estimated volume of 33 billion barrels of oil.
