Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil and gas production is expected to increase over the coming decade, with the ANP projecting an output of 5.5 million bopd by 2027-2028. Furthermore, 44 offshore production systems are expected to come on line by 2030. Brazil has started to attract the attention of oil majors across the globe and will continue to be a regional investment hub for years to come. As such, the report covers the laws and regulations of the new administration that will shape the local investment environment. This third edition also delves into other attractive business opportunities in Brazil’s conventional offshore and onshore basins. Less than 30,000 wells have been drilled in the country’s oil and gas history, compared to almost double that in Argentina and more than 100 times that in the USA. The ANP recognises the need to incentivise E&P in areas the prolific Pre-Salt Polygon. Despite the progress being made in the development of Brazil’s oil and gas industry, challenges loom overhead. Environmental issues will come to the fore as some segments of society contest the new administration’s move to a more laisssez-faire market approach, particulary in areas near the Amazon rainforest. The government is under pressure to tackle these issues and push forward the industry’s development. Extensive in-depth analysis is supported by comprehensive maps, illustrations and graphs to create a market guide essential for players seeking to either expand their operations or enter the Brazilian oil and gas market.

Download or read book Dealing with Plenty Brazil in the Era of Surplus Oil written by Renato L. de Oliveira and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study about the growth of oil industry and its economic and political repercussions in Brazil. It combines an industrial analysis with an empirical assessment of the impact of oil royalties on municipal fiscal transparency in Brazil. This paper begins with an overview of the future of the oil industry and fleshes out what Brazil0́9s role in this future might be. I show that hydrocarbons will continue to be the main source of energy for the foreseeable future. Despite the negative issues associated with oil, such as its pollutant qualities and abundance in politically unstable countries, its versatile nature and features as a fuel discourage a switch to alternative energies, a very arduous endeavor under present technological constraints. Next, opposing views regarding the dominance of oil are presented. Some scientists defend that oil production has or is about to peak, while others claim that there is plenty of oil left in unconventional sources, such as tar sands, shale rocks, and offshore oil. This latter source is of particular interest to this study. In 2007, the Brazilian government announced the discovery of huge reserves offshore, reserves with the potential to multiply the country0́9s oil assets. Brazil emerges in the 21st century as an important supplier of oil, a fact celebrated by President Barack Obama in his first visit to the country, when he offered his willingness for the U.S. to be the main customer of such fuel. For most of its history, Brazil needed to import oil to supply its internal demand. Despite that, this country adopted policies that highly restricted foreign participation in this industry. I show how nationalism played a major role in shaping Brazil0́9s oil legislation from the 19300́9s until the mid-19900́9s, when a more liberal legal framework opened the domestic market for oil exploration. The liberal legislation successfully achieved an increase in production and reserves. Additionally, the mid-19900́9s legislation also raised the existing rate of oil royalties and created new taxes. The combination resulted in petroleum wealth appearing as a significant source of public revenue, especially at the local government level. Oil abundance, if not properly managed, can be harmful to economic development. This outcome is counterintuitive but supported by an empirical regularity in cross-country comparisons. In Chapter 2, I present the main arguments attempting to explain the so-called resource curse paradox, a theme extensively studied in development and political science literature. I show that while there is no inherent contradiction between resource abundance and development, there are indeed economic and political challenges. Economically, there is a need to avoid the loss of competitiveness in the non-resource sector of the economy, a phenomenon named Dutch Disease. The existence of oil wealth can also pose a threat to development through political mechanisms. It stimulates rent-seeking behavior and reckless fiscal spending, and it makes reform harder to accomplish. Chapter 2 also contains a brief analysis of the experiences of Norway, Venezuela, and Mexico in managing oil resources. In Chapter 3, I assess the impact of oil money transfers to municipalities in their compliance with the transparency requirements of the Fiscal Responsibility Law. In 2000, the Brazilian government adopted a law that requires, among other things, that every municipality submit its fiscal data to the central government. If a municipality declines to provide the data, it is penalized with refusal of voluntary transfers from the Union and contracting credit operation. I analyze the pattern of missing information using logit models with fixed effects and pooled data, for 5,561 municipalities in a ten year period (2000 to 2009). The results compellingly illustrate that being an oil recipient increases the probability of breaking the law by up to 16 percentage points. The model also indicates that structures of checks and balances, like a high voter turnout, encourage more transparent behavior. Consistent with the literature, the models likewise exhibit that the more a municipality is financed by transfers of money, the less the municipality is accountable. Chapter 4 concludes by pointing to the importance of the findings, particularly when oil revenues, with the recent offshore discoveries, are becoming a major source of public money to all governmental structures in Brazil.

Book excerpt: When Bloomberg News invited the young American journalist Alex Cuadros to report on Brazil's emerging class of billionaires at the height of the historic Brazilian boom, he was poised to cover two of the biggest business stories of our time: how the giants of the developing world were taking their place at the center of global capitalism, and how wealth inequality was changing societies everywhere. The billionaires of Brazil and their massive fortunes resided at the very top of their country's economic pyramid, and whether they quietly accumulated exceptional power or extravagantly displayed their decadence, they formed a potent microcosm of the world's richest .001 percent. They held sway over the economy, government, media, and stewardship of the environment; they determined the spiritual fates and populated the imaginations of their countrymen. In 2012, Eike Batista ranked as the eighth-richest person in the world, was famous for his marriage to a beauty queen, and was a fixture in the Brazilian press. But by 2015, Batista was bankrupt, his son Thor had been indicted for manslaughter, and Brazil--its president facing impeachment, its provinces combating an epidemic, and its business and political class torn apart by scandal--had become a cautionary tale of a country run aground by its elites. Over four years, Cuadros reported on media moguls and televangelists, energy barons and shadowy figures from the years of military dictatorship, soy barons who lived on the outskirts of the Amazon, and new-economy billionaires spinning money from speculation. His zealous reporting takes us from penthouses to courtrooms, from favelas to art fairs, from scenes of unimaginable wealth to desperate, massive street protests. Within a business narrative that deftly dramatizes the volatility of the global economy, Cuadros offers us literary journalism with a grand sweep.--Adapted from dust jacket.

Download or read book History After Hobsbawm written by John Arnold and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean--and what might it yet come to mean--to write "history" in the twenty-first century? History After Hobsbawm brings together leading historians from across the globe to ask what being an historian should mean in their particular fields of study. Taking their cue from one of the previous century's greatest historians, Eric Hobsbawm, and his interests across many periods and places, the essays approach their subjects with an underlying sense of what role an historian might seek to play, and attempt to help twenty-first-century society understand "how we got here" They present new work in their sub-fields but also point to how their specialisms are developing, how they might further grow in the future, and how different areas of focus might speak to the larger challenges of history--both for the discipline itself and for its relationship to other fields of academic inquiry. Like Hobsbawn, the authors in this collection know that history matters. They speak to both the past and the present and, in so doing, introduce some of the most exciting new lines of research in a broad array of subjects from the medieval period to the present.
