She aims to stress growing ties in oil and gas.
This partnership builds on key 2025 deals. Petrobras signed its first agreement in March with Angola’s National Oil, Gas & Biofuels Agency. It set up joint studies for offshore blocks. This laid ground for exploration.
A second deal followed in May with Sonangol. Angola’s national oil firm launched oil and gas research and development work. These pacts show Petrobras’ return to Angola’s upstream sector.
Both nations need these links now. Petrobras seeks new spots abroad. Angola wants steady output from untapped reserves. Brazil’s skill in deepwater and pre-salt fields matches Angola’s geology. Salt tectonics link both South Atlantic sides.
Deepening Ties Through New Agreements
A March 2026 Memorandum of Understanding boosts the Angola-Brazil Energy Alliance. Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy signed with Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water. It covers energy planning and capacity building. Angola’s power sector gains support too.
Oil and gas stay at the core. Angola draws big players with its geology and terms. TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil agreed on four blocks in Benguela and Namibe basins. Azule Energy pushes ahead at Kiando in Block 47. Shell holds ultra-deepwater Blocks 49 and 50.
Petrobras adds deepwater know-how. This fits Angola’s frontier needs well.
