Petrobras President Magda Chambriard on Tuesday (6) enthusiastically defended exploratory drilling in the Amazon River mouth, part of an oil province known as Equatorial Margin,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ms. Chambriard is in the U.S. attending the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), a global industry event held in Houston. Valor obtained access to the video of her remarks. When contacted, the company confirmed the authenticity of the footage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Standing alongside Amap\u00e1 Governor Cl\u00e9cio Lu\u00eds (Solidarity Party), Ms. Chambriard defended the project, which is under fire from environmentalists, arguing that the possibility of extracting oil in the region represents a major opportunity for the state and for the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI celebrate the presence of Governor Cl\u00e9cio because he represents the opportunity we have in the Equatorial Margin and in the state of Amap\u00e1, where we truly believe we will have good surprises once we obtain the license to drill,\u201d she said during a panel hosted by the Brazilian Petroleum and Gas Institute (IBP) at the event. Ms. Chambriard then added in English: \u201cLet\u2019s drill, baby!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Beside the governor, Ms. Chambriard emphasized the importance of discussing the potential for a new oil reserve in the country at what \u201cthe world\u2019s largest oil exploration and production conference.\u201d She also assured that the drilling will be done safely and poses no risk to the population.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe people of Amap\u00e1 can rest assured that Petrobras operates responsibly, employing the highest technology for the benefit of the Brazilian population and Amap\u00e1 society,\u201d Ms. Chambriard said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Along the same lines, Governor Lu\u00eds thanked the invitation to join the Petrobras CEO at the conference and highlighted the potential economic impact of the exploration for the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very important to say that for us in Amap\u00e1, this is a turning point for our economy. We really want and really need the resources that would come from this oil. And we believe we can do this in a very safe way,\u201d the governor declared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The statement comes amid pressure from government officials and lawmakers from the North region for the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) to grant the environmental license for the exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The main supporter of the proposal in Bras\u00edlia is Senate President Davi Alcolumbre (Brazil Union of Amap\u00e1). Mr. Alcolumbre, a close ally of Governor Lu\u00eds, even secured support from President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, who went so far as to say that Ibama \u201ccan\u2019t keep up this stalling,\u201d in a clear message opposing the stance of Environment Minister Marina Silva.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The minister maintains that the agency\u2019s decision is technical. Ibama argues that the Amazonas River mouth region is environmentally sensitive, requiring strict licensing procedures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In March, Ibama issued a technical opinion approving Petrobras\u2019s plan for cleaning the drillship designated for exploration in the Equatorial Margin. The approval is a step that brings the company closer to securing the environmental license for exploratory activity in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Besides Amap\u00e1, the Equatorial Margin includes ares offshore of the states of Par\u00e1, Maranh\u00e3o, Piau\u00ed, Cear\u00e1, and Rio Grande do Norte.<\/p>\n
