The sea

Offshore fossil energy production.

In 2017, the total offshore fossil energy (oil & gas) production of the total of the countries that make up the CPLP (Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries) was around 1,925 million Kbbl / d, which exceeds the largest producer in the world offshore oil and gas.

Continental platforms.

The oceans have always been one of the greatest natural resources for humanity.

In the past, initially for food, shipbuilding, transportation and defense; more recently for oil and gas, as well as for tourism; and now, and increasingly, for ‘blue’ biotechnology, robotics, minerals from the seabed and renewable energy.

In this context, more and more countries are asking the United Nations to extend their continental platforms.

The potential is as vast as the sea itself: more than 70% of the planet is covered by water and, so far, only 5% of the seabed has been analyzed and photographed.

Continental platforms: Portugal, a country on the way to 4 000 000 km2.

Heavy naval defense equipment
(Aircraft carrier + Frigate + Destroyers + Corvettes + Submarines).

Considering only the number of heavy naval defense equipment, due to the contribution of Brazil and Portugal, CPLP occupies the 12th position in the ranking of navies of war.

The weight of each of these 2 countries in the total CPLP is as follows:

Brazil: 56%

Portugal: 44%
