Petrobras - a shining light for oil service firms
With the recent announcement that Petrobras (NYSE - PBR) would raise its five-year investment plan by 55%, knock on effects have been felt throughout the oil services industry & have spurred analysts to look at Brazil as one of the emerging markets that may lead the way in recovery from the current financial crisis. ”Petrobras’s long awaited 5 year plan contains good news for service companies active in Brazil,” Keith Morris, analyst at Evolution Securities said in a research note.
State controlled Petrobras, announced a crisis-busting investment plan Friday to spend more than $174 billion over the next five years, much of it for deep-water oil and gas exploration. The investment period runs through to 2013 and represents a rise of 55% over the $112.4 billion the company had originally planned to spend on development between 2008 and 2012.
