Comments for World's 5th: Brazil's Pre-Salt Oil Might Top 100 Billion Barrels at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:49:22 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10160/1/#pc_18157 Oil in Brazil is a major contributor to the country's wealth. Because of this I believe that Brazil will be strong in the coming years especially as the world's oil supply dwindles. This country will need to focus on how to monetize their assets. The stock price is so low because of the market right now, which only gives you reason to buy into oil right now. - Falupa Mon, 10 Nov 2008 10:49:20 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10160/1/#pc_18148 Making the news: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20081107.RPETROBRAS07/TPStory/Business - jon Sun, 09 Nov 2008 21:08:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10160/1/#pc_18133 What an idiot, the one who wrote this stupidity. He cant even read a chart...as usual ! The stock was at US$ 2,50 at the low of 2002 and at Us$ 6.50 at the top for 2002 ! Hmmmmm ! Concerning the Brazilian POTENTIAL oil reserves : Venezuela has far more than that. Venezuela has far less population than Brazil. Do your maths on a per capita basis ! Venezuela Orinoco oil is Onshore, Brazil Tupi oil is offshore and very very very deep therefore very costly to produce. But...but...but...Venezuela has still plenty of POVERTY despite the oil boom of the last 6-8 years ! To Ric "Is this oil worth extracting at $61 a barrel? " Good question. Many "experts" predict that there will be years of delay now for the TUPI fields. Time will tell. Petrobras said their production costs will be at US$ 35.- before Government taxes, royalties etc etc. And the US$ 61.- NYMEX reference oil price is not the price producers receive. This price is F.O.B at Cushing, Oklahoma, USA ! And the funny story is the Brazilian explanation to the eventual production delay : "Exploration of new offshore oil fields in Brazil may be hindered for two years because the government is having trouble writing rules to govern the finds, Julio Bueno, Rio de Janeiro state's industry secretary, said. ``The political discussions will immobilize exploration in Brazil,'' Bueno, former head of BR Distribuidora, the fuels distribution arm of Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil's state- controlled oil company, said in an interview in his office in Rio de Janeiro. ``I'm very cynical about anything getting done in the next two years.'' A review of the oilfield rules is two months late and may be further slowed by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's looming ``lame-duck'' status ahead of elections in 2010, Bueno said. Last November, the government removed blocks near the recently discovered Tupi field from auction and began studying whether Brazil needs a batch of more-restrictive rules governing foreign companies' participation. ``They are only putting up the least attractive and most risky fields,'' Bueno said. ``We are having a debate that will go nowhere and can only hurt the Brazilian people.'' Smiles You can see that whatever is published by the Disinformation & Propaganda Dept at the Planalto Palacio, next to Robin the Crook office, is somewhat different when you read the comments from the people really involved ! But quite normal...under HIS HIGHNESS REIGNS ! - ch.c.

The price of Petrobras is undervalued. The potential for profit is as saleable as realized profit. Petrobras was priced higher at $20 dollar a barrel oil then it is at $60 a barrel oil. The problem for oil now is storage space. Leaving the oil burried under the salt is a natural place to store this oil, saving the cost of storage if it were to be extracted now. Having a gold mine is semantically nearlly as good as having gold already above ground. - aes Sat, 08 Nov 2008 23:31:14 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/10160/1/#pc_18121 Is this oil worth extracting at $61 a barrel? - Ric Sat, 08 Nov 2008 21:58:51 +0100
