ROG.e 2026 — Rio Oil & Gas Expo and Conference
Latin America's largest oil & gas event. Petrobras-anchored. Brazil pre-salt deepwater + the energy-transition conversation in a country with both massive oil reserves and aggressive renewable targets.
ROG.e 2026 runs 21-24 September at Riocentro in Rio de Janeiro. Latin America's largest oil & gas event, anchored by Petrobras and the broader Brazilian operator ecosystem (PRIO, Equinor Brasil, Shell Brasil, TotalEnergies Brasil, Karoon).
Why Brazil matters in 2026
- Pre-salt deepwater continues to dominate Brazilian production — Petrobras still has substantial AI investment here
- The 2024-2025 round of farm-out auctions brought new operators into the basin; 2026 is the year their AI procurement decisions get made
- Energy-transition pressure is real — Brazil hosts COP30 in late 2025, public mood matters
- Equinor's Brazilian operations are a digitalisation beachhead for the broader Latin American region
What we plan
EarthScan does not currently have a Brazilian operator partnership but ROG.e is the venue to start one. Tarry watches the calendar for the right opportunity to make this trip.
Key sessions to track
- Petrobras digital strategy keynote (always day-1 at ROG.e)
- Pre-salt subsurface AI technical track
- Brazilian energy transition policy panels
- PRIO + Karoon independent-operator AI investments
We will publish notes after the event.
