The Expomag Convention Center in Rio de Janeiro hosted OTC Brasil 2025 from October 28 to 30, bringing together key stakeholders from across the oil, gas, and energy value chain. Inspired by the traditional OTC Houston, the conference gathered thousands of attendees and reinforced Brazil’s role in the global offshore industry.
WSB Advisors attended the event with a delegation representing commercial, technical, content and HSEQ functions: Raphael Montes (Proposals Manager), Pedro Pellegrini (Shipbroker Intern), Romulo Bacchiega (Head of Content & Sales), Ronaldo Lima (Senior Advisor), Genesio Ramos (New Building Lead), Jake van den Dries (Partner & HSEQ Lead), and Daniel Buckley (Chartering Manager). Their presence underscored our commitment to following industry trends and strengthening strategic relationships across the energy ecosystem.
Under the theme “The future of deepwater technologies: connecting oil, gas and renewables,” this year’s edition highlighted the potential of Brazil’s Equatorial Margin, along with discussions on AI, CCUS, offshore wind, and diversity. The program featured more than 200 exhibitors and 150 speakers, including executives from Petrobras, Shell, Equinor, TotalEnergies, Chevron, SLB and TechnipFMC, as well as government representatives from Amapá, home to Petrobras’ FZA-M-059 exploration block.
The exhibition floor reflected strong participation from industry players such as Porto do Açu, Camorim and Posidonia, in addition to offshore equipment and service providers, IBP, and DNV. The audience ranged from C-level leaders to entrepreneurs, students and operational professionals, reinforcing the event’s collaborative profile.
A technical highlight was TotalEnergies’ presentation of a new, safer and more efficient polymer technology for well cementing operations on drillships.
Held every two years, OTC Brasil remains a key forum for networking, business development and knowledge exchange shaping the future of the Brazilian offshore industry. For WSB Advisors, the event was an opportunity to deepen market insights, strengthen partnerships and reaffirm our role in supporting clients through the evolving energy landscape.
In addition to the exhibition, WSB Advisors also attended parallel events such as Triunfo Cocktail Party at EXC Rio.
