Edmiston, however, said that the oil industry cannot afford to ignore the country’s hydrocarbons wealth, especially in the Orinoco heavy crude belt.

The Brazilian subsidiary of US logistics and transportation company BDP forecasts revenue growth of 25% this year driven by the chemical and petrochemical industries, the company’s general manager in Brazil, Roberto Croce, told BNamericas, without providing hard figures.
BDP began to focus on Brazil’s chemical and petrochemical sectors in early 2008 and the industries currently account for 65-70% of the company’s operations in the country, the executive said.
The outlook for the coming years is favorable, with demand from the sectors increasing consistently through 2014 due to the FIFA World Cup to be hosted in Brazil, said Croce.
