Brazil’s oil and gas sector is set to undergo a significant strategic shift. Petro-Victory Energy Corp., a well-established player in exploration and production (E&P), has partnered with Blue Oak Investments, a leading investor in the energy industries, to create a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). This SPV aims to mobilize 40 billion BRL for the acquisition of oil and gas assets in Latin America.

A partnership structured for growth

The joint strategy is based on a precise division of roles: Blue Oak, with its seven decades of financial expertise and impressive portfolio, will provide the capital. Petro-Victory, for its part, will bring its operational expertise and in-depth knowledge of local markets.

This partnership aligns with the needs of the Brazilian market, characterized by a growing focus on energy transition and infrastructure optimization. With an equitable distribution of responsibilities within the SPV, this collaboration seeks to address the region’s economic and industrial challenges.

The strengths of Blue Oak and Petro-Victory

Blue Oak Investments, based in Brazil, has already conducted transactions worth 40 billion BRL, confirming its key role in strategically financing complex projects. Specializing in special situations and investments in fixed assets, the company has established itself as an essential player in the energy sector.

Petro-Victory, on the other hand, brings a strong track record in developing onshore oil resources and a strategic presence in Latin America, where it has demonstrated its ability to maximize the value of acquired assets.

A model for the regional oil sector

This collaboration could serve as a model for other companies looking to exploit the growing opportunities in the energy sector in Latin America. As recent reforms stimulate foreign investment in the region, Petro-Victory and Blue Oak intend to position themselves as pioneers in adopting collaborative and innovative strategies.

The first projects under this SPV are expected to focus on assets located in Brazil, a country that remains at the heart of regional energy ambitions.
