Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Tyler Crowe]

    One big region to keep an eye on is the pre-salt formation of Brazil. Auctions for this lucrative field are expected later this year, and Seadrill already has a working relationship with Petrobras (NYSE: PBR  ) , with three rigs already offshore Brazil. Since Petrobras has a government-mandated 30% operator stake in every well in this new region, having a solid working relationship could mean very good things for Seadrill in the future. Tune into the video below where Fool.com contributor Tyler Crowe discusses some other promising regions that could offer big gains for Seadrill. He also wonders why its competitors are not yet putting up a big fight: Can they move fast enough to keep up with Seadrill's ambitious plans?

  • [By Associated Press]

    Biden will be giving a speech in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday and then pay a visit to state-run oil company Petrobras (NYSE: PBR  ) .

    Biden will also visit a slum while in Rio and on Friday meet with Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff, helping pave the way for her expected state visit to Washington later this year.

  • [By Taylor Muckerman]

    All 1.4 million cars that were sold between January and May have to fuel up somehow, and that is where Brazilian powerhouse Petrobras (NYSE: PBR  ) comes in to the picture. As the largest energy company in the country, Petrobras' gasoline sales would�presumably�follow a similar growth trajectory as auto sales once the retirement of old vehicles is taken into consideration. If the gap between international fuel prices is allowed to be closed ��the recent diesel price hike in March assisted with this ��then revenue from the company's downstream could really take off.
