ANDm announced, the Mozambican Presidency advances that Daniel Chapo will participate on Monday, as the main speaker, in the Forum Oil and Gas 2026 in Rio de Janeiro under the motto “Evolution Energy for the Future”.

Mozambique's ambassador to Brazil, Alexandre Manjate, said Chapo intends to deepen cooperation relations with that South American country in oil and gas exploration in deep water, through the sharing of knowledge and the establishment of investment partnerships.

He said that Mozambique's participation in the Forum is an opportunity to present the national potential and to know other countries' paths in the exploration of hydrocarbons, with emphasis on the experiences that may contribute to the development of the sector in Mozambique.

“The experience of Brazil is interesting. We have a linguistic, cultural and human similarity, and Petrobras [Brazilian petrol] has been exploring oil and gas at great depths. It has a unique specialty and Mozambique has a similarity from the point of view of location of our resources in ‘offshore’. Brazil has been exploring this for a long time, has one of the best technologies to exploit it,” Manjate said, with the country seeking new entities to cooperate in this field of hydrocarbons and to identify new investment opportunities.

The event is organized by the Brazilian Institute of Oil, Gas and Biofuels (IBP) and brings together different actors from the global energy industry, including companies such as TotalEnergies, Shell and Petrobras, as the Presidency says, in a statement.
