Measures to encourage oil and gas exploration in Brazil published in the official gazette could unlock $120 billion in investments, Energy Minister Eduardo Braga said in a statement.
The National Council of Energy Policy (CNPE) authorized the country's oil agency to extend the concession of oil fields auctioned off in 1998 and proposed the extension of a special customs regime for oil equipment known as Repetro, according to the official gazette on Wednesday.
