"It is likely to create a new national oil company, backed by President Lula da Silva, under 100% government control, to take ownership of the new reserves and develop them in partnership with Petrobras and others.

Some 60% of total capital is held by minority and largely foreign shareholders who would miss the opportunity to benefit from exploiting the offshore discoveries."
