Abstract

A exploração de petróleo e gás na Margem Equatorial brasileira é considerada essencial para manter a produção nacional diante do esgotamento de campos maduros. Este estudo analisa os impactos econômicos dessa exploração utilizando a Matriz Insumo-Produto (MIP). Dois cenários são simulados: o primeiro, de curto prazo, avalia os efeitos dos investimentos previstos pela Petrobras até 2029, com base na Matriz de Absorção de Investimentos (MAI); o segundo estima os impactos da produção de petróleo ao longo de 10, 15 e 20 anos, considerando diferentes níveis de produção. Os resultados indicam que a exploração da Margem Equatorial pode gerar efeitos econômicos significativos em diversas variáveis, reforçando seu potencial estratégico para o país. No entanto, o estudo alerta para as limitações metodológicas da análise, recomendando cautela na interpretação dos resultados. O trabalho contribui para o debate sobre a nova fronteira petrolífera, equilibrando seus potenciais benefícios e desafios. Oil and gas exploration in Brazil’s Equatorial Margin is considered essential to sustaining national production levels, given the decline of mature fields. This study analyzes the economic impacts of exploration in the region using the Input-Output Matrix (IOM). Two scenarios are simulated: the first, a short-term analysis, assesses the effects of Petrobras’ planned investments in the region through 2029, based on the Investment Absorption Matrix (IAM); the second estimates the impacts of oil production over 10, 15, and 20 years, considering different production potential levels. Results indicate that exploration in the Equatorial Margin could generate significant economic effects across several variables, highlighting its strategic potential for the country. However, the study also notes methodological limitations and recommends caution in interpreting the findings. The research contributes to the ongoing debate on this new oil frontier, weighing its potential benefits against the technical, environmental, and regulatory challenges involved.
