BRASILIA: Brazilian lawmakers have set up a congressional caucus to represent Brazil’s oil and gas industry, led by state-run producer Petrobras, and to back the company’s plans to explore offshore fields near the mouth of the Amazon River.
“Petrobras has to do that. We have to explore for oil off-shore from Para to Amapa states, like Guyana and Venezuela are doing,” the leader of the caucus, retired army general Eduardo Pazuello, said in an interview late on Wednesday.
