Brazil Oil and Gas Sector Report 2025-2026

The oil and gas sector in Brazil has become an important source of foreign revenues, investment, and value added for the country ever since the discovery of the massive pre-salt reservoirs in the early 2010s. Since then, the country has steadily increased its crude oil output, becoming the world's ninth largest producer and the eighth largest exporter in the world in volume terms. However, segments such as natural gas, crude oil refining and derivatives have lacked an analogous development in recent years, resulting in an unequal performance within the sector, as well as a continued dependence on imports to cover for the domestic demand of fuels and natural gas.
