countries were present, and the event was 20 percent bigger than the 2016 edition, according to IBP.

The 19th edition of Latin-America´s biggest oil and gas event takes place as international oil prices reach

record high levels.

The event brought together the entire productive chain of the sector and, finally, to reach the common

goal: the growth and highlight of industry in Brazil. The motto chosen for Rio Oil & Gas this year was

“Turning challenges into opportunities”. The debates provided in the technical program cover Upstream,

Downstream, Gas and Energy, Digital Technologies and Industry Management.

In addition to the exhibition, Rio Oil & Gas organized several parallel events scheduled simultaneously.

REC participated on III SEMINAR BRAZIL x NORUEGA & DIGITALIZATION SEMINAR among

other meetings during the ROG2018.

The Brazilian Association of Norwegian Shipowners - ABRAN, in partnership with the Royal Consulate General

of Norway, FGV RIO and FGV Energia organized in Rio de Janeiro the III Seminar Brazil X Norway, with

themes on the recovery of the oil sector and gas in Brazil, the new technological trends and the reflexes in the

regulation of the maritime and offshore sector.

THE INNOVATION NORWAY STAND (o55) IN THE NORWEGIAN PAVILLION:

22 Norwegian companies were part of the Norwegian pavilion this year, and many of the companies, as Runde

Miljøsenter were present at Rio Oil & Gas for the first time.

A lot of opportunities in Brazil is going forward, it is an exciting, but challenging market especially for a

newcomer, but there are many of valuable input from networking with experienced service providers and

partners.

Equinor´s increasing presence in Brazil has undoubtedly made other Norwegian stakeholders look this way,

despite the crisis that hit both Brazil and the norwegian oil and gas sector so severely.

Norwegian authorities are also aware of Brazil´s importance to Norwegian offshore suppliers, and it was Deputy

Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde who formally opened the Norwegian pavilion

at Rio Oil & Gas 2018, as she did in 2016.

Norwegian industry does have a place in the Brazilian market. And it is a win-win situation for all players, The

Innovation Norway Pavilion it was the perfect venue to meet, to talk to other norwegian companies and to

Brazilian authorities.

Mr. Stein Gunnar Bondevik, head of Innovation Norway in Brazil believes that the presence of a Norwegian

industrial giant (Equinor) has sent a very clear message to the market: the need of more Norwegian companies

and suppliers in Brazil.

between regulatory bodies such as IBAMA and ANP, and the industry for the development of environmental

data management solutions related to the oil and gas segment.

The Data base Portal will consolidate all the Environmental Licensing data of the exploration phases in one

place, and will allow universal access to this data, which can be used both for society and for companies. The

cooperation with IBAMA will bring improvements from the point of view of environmental protection and will

contribute more investment to the sector, which has been advancing much from the regulatory standpoint.

THE BRAZILIAN AND NORWEGIAN COLLABORATION FOR THE

OCEAN ECONOMY

Brazil market is really important for the sustainable use of ocean, responsible use, protecting solutions to combat

climate change and to assure sustainable solutions for people. Smarter and greener operations, green solutions

are good business for the bilateral cooperation between Brazil and Norway.

Green revolution will produce the best business for next energy century. Digital solutions can make the oil and

gas industry future-fit and more sustainable. Both Norway and Brazil are pioneers on the energy, oil and gas

sector, and digital transformation is a new frontier to conquer together.

The UN GOALS, COP21 and National Action Plans shall enforce the new green shipping revolution in Brazil

and Norway. Brazil and Norway need to generate value for all stakeholders. The digital transformation and green

solutions will affect business models and change the business culture. The challenge is to discover now what

will matter tomorrow to transform our ocean economy into a sustainable future today.

Norway´s Deputy Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Mrs. Ingvil Smines Tybring-Gjedde said:

«Norway is a world leader working with digital solutions, and we have a lot to gain from digitalization, an

important tool in making sustainable use of ocean-based resources. The industry must be part of the effort to

develop new technologies, part of the solution to the global challenges we are facing, and we have to make

solutions available on the global market. Green solutions are simply good business. The energy and maritime

sectors continue to be the engine for green and blue growth, and digitalization is one of the many tools to

accomplish exactly that».

Cross discipline collaboration, data sharing and access, are the challenges going forward for better use of the

global ocean. Green solutions are probably one of the most important way to improve the oil and gas business,

in all phases of the value chain in Brazil and Norway.

The future of our ocean economy is also about culture and about our ability to change using greener solutions.

Digitalization will make the oil and gas industry future fit for a better society. The ocean data as a resource needs

to be managed in a responsible way, with a purpose. In a fast pace era, where all of us are in a state of constant

transformation, the digitalization is an important tool to share and to strength the knowledge and business, for

the industry and for the environment.

Collaborative innovation in the Norwegian and Brazilian Oil & Gas Industry shall create a stronger and greener

new ocean economy.
