据油价网3月27日消息称，巴西国家石油公司首席执行官Jean Paul Prates在里约热内卢接受采访时表示，在能源转型中，巴西国家石油公司可能是最后一家原油生产公司。

据彭博社报道，Prates说：“我们将获得市场份额。”他指的是巴西国有石油公司。

这些评论是关于能源转型以及巴西国家石油公司等石油公司是否有理由担心该问题的。但Prates并不担心。“我们可能是世界上最后一个生产石油的国家”，他说。

这位巴西国家石油公司最近上任的首席执行官本月早些时候警告说，该公司必须为“不可避免的”能源转型做好准备，并扩大可再生能源资产，包括新的海上风电项目。

但Prates坚持认为，原油生产仍将是第一要务，相比之下，可再生能源投资相形见绌。

巴西今年的原油产量将达到340万桶/天，并将一直增长到2030年，但如果巴西想保持增长，甚至只是维持这些水平，就需要投资。

目前，巴西国家石油公司表示，它将专注于盐下地区的现有发现，同时寻找新发现。它还将考虑在北部有争议的赤道边缘开辟新盆地，该地区与石油热点圭亚那有着相似的地质条件。

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.
