Petrobras Mission to Calgary

Export Development Canada and Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada are partnering to host an exclusive seminar and business matchmaking event with Petrobras. Petrobras is one of the world’s largest energy companies, who are looking for Canadian products, services, technologies, and solutions to satisfy their increasing demands.

Southern Alberta and the province is world renowned for its technical leadership in exploitation of mature fields and unconventional gas reservoirs. There are identified opportunities for companies with advanced technology and new solutions who can provide specialized state of the art goods, equipment, and services. Brazil is expanding at an advanced rate compared to provincial activity levels, and could mean opportunity for local companies.

The Economic Devlopment Alliance of Southeast Alberta strongly encourages local oil and gas companies to consider this information and attend this event. It is a great opportunity to network and take advantage of this inevitable upsurge of industry activities.
