據油價網3月27日消息稱，巴西國家石油公司首席執行官Jean Paul Prates在里約熱內盧接受采訪時表示，在能源轉型中，巴西國家石油公司可能是最后一家原油生產公司。

據彭博社報道，Prates說：“我們將獲得市場份額。”他指的是巴西國有石油公司。

這些評論是關于能源轉型以及巴西國家石油公司等石油公司是否有理由擔心該問題的。但Prates并不擔心。“我們可能是世界上最后一個生產石油的國家”，他說。

這位巴西國家石油公司最近上任的首席執行官本月早些時候警告說，該公司必須為“不可避免的”能源轉型做好準備，并擴大可再生能源資產，包括新的海上風電項目。

但Prates堅持認為，原油生產仍將是第一要務，相比之下，可再生能源投資相形見絀。

巴西今年的原油產量將達到340萬桶/天，并將一直增長到2030年，但如果巴西想保持增長，甚至只是維持這些水平，就需要投資。

目前，巴西國家石油公司表示，它將專注于鹽下地區的現有發現，同時尋找新發現。它還將考慮在北部有爭議的赤道邊緣開辟新盆地，該地區與石油熱點圭亞那有著相似的地質條件。

Petrobras Ready To Be Last Oil Producer Standing

Petrobras could be the last man standing when it comes to crude oil production amid the energy transition, the state-run oil company’s CEO Jean Paul Prates said in an interview in Rio de Janeiro.

“We will get market share,” Prates said, according to Bloomberg, referring to Brazil’s state-run oil company.

The comments come with respect to the energy transition and whether there is cause for concern for an oil company such as Petrobras. But Prates isn’t worried. “We may be the last to produce oil in the world,” he said.

Prates, the recently installed CEO of Petrobras, warned earlier this month that the company must be ready for the “unavoidable” energy transition and made inroads with its expansion of renewable energy assets, including new offshore wind projects.

But Prates insists that crude oil production will remain the number one priority, with renewable investments paling in comparison.

Brazil’s crude oil production is set to reach 3.4 million bpd this year, and is set to grow through 2030, but investments will be needed if the country is to keep growing—or even to just maintain those levels.

For now, Petrobras said it would focus on existing finds in the pre-salt areas, as well as looking for new ones. It will also look at opening up new basins in the controversial equatorial margin in the north, which shares similar geology to oil hotspot Guyana.
