The growth of the onshore market and the importance of independent oil and gas producers will take center stage at Bahia Oil & Gas Energy 2024, an event that will bring together key players from the sector across the country from May 22 to 24 at the Salvador Convention Center.

The event is organized by Austral Energy Consulting with the strategic collaboration of the Instituto Politécnico da Bahia (IPB) and the Associação Brasileira dos Produtores Independentes de Petróleo e Gás (ABPIP) and will address opportunities in the areas of exploration and production, refining, petrochemicals, naval, and energy integration in the North/Northeast of Brazil.

ABPIP and its associated companies will participate in the discussions throughout the event, and the association will have a booth in front of the Main Plenary (Booth No. 100, Wing A), which will serve as a meeting point between operators and suppliers. "The event showcases the strength of the oil and gas sector in Brazil, being one of the main ones in the Northeast and a national showcase for independents to showcase their achievements in business, technical, and socio-environmental aspects. ABPIP's presence reinforces the interaction of our members with stakeholders in states where we operate, such as Bahia, the birthplace of the Brazilian oil and gas industry," highlighted Marcio Felix, president of ABPIP.
