Lula Government Doubles Down on Oil and Gas Expansion

October 08, 2025

Brazil's Lula government is actively pursuing new oil auctions and refinery expansions, signaling a strategic decision to double down on oil and gas development. This policy direction comes despite the country's ambitious net-zero targets.

The government's focus is on achieving energy security and increasing oil revenue, which directly benefits state-run oil firm Petrobras. This supportive political environment can facilitate Petrobras's investment plans and operational growth.

This approach indicates a prioritization of economic and energy independence through fossil fuel development in the short to medium term. It provides a clear mandate for Petrobras to continue its core business activities and expand its infrastructure.
