South American energy sector expansion

Overview

Energy companies are advancing diverse strategic projects across South America, focusing on both fossil fuel expansion and renewable energy integration.

Galp is pursuing growth through renewable energy acquisitions and alliances to achieve scale, while also developing proprietary battery energy management systems. In Brazil, the company is targeting expansion in the Pelotas Basin and the Equatorial Margin, alongside efforts to increase recovery factors in the Santos Basin.

Petrobras is similarly expanding its regional footprint. The company is considering the Syrius natural gas project in Colombia for its 2027-2031 business plan, which utilizes a subsea pipeline design. In Brazil, Petrobras has entered commercial negotiations with Yinson for the P-88 FPSO to support the Albacora field in the Campos Basin, with production expected after 2031.
