Some of the world's largest oil deposits have been found there in extremely deep water under layers of rock and salt in what's called the pre-salt region.
在岩石，腐蚀性盐层之下极深的水下发现了一些世界上最大的石油储备区la;I@#s;Fy。这片地下水域被叫做盐下区域beY2^oi@BZhEi083Z。
If Brazil can tap into that challenging terrain, it hopes to more than double output to six million barrels of crude a day by 2020. That would make it one of the top four oil producers in the world and reduce the influence of OPEC.

There is a very good chance that they are gonna fall short and the reason is driven by the government's competing policy priority to through the pre-salt also develop a local oil service and supply industry.
他们的石油资源也会枯竭，这种可能性很大，因为政府竞争政策一向优先于通过盐下区来发展当地的石油服务产业，并供应于工业BG0]XORkt#b#ou^*|BT。
In other words, up to seventy percent of the equipment has to be made in Brazil. New policies also require that Brazil's state-run oil giant Petrobrass be the lead operator in all new projects. At the same time an oil spill off the coast of Rio dejeinero last year raised concerns companies are not yet prepared for the daunting environmental and technical challenges.

All of that means Brazil may not double output by 2020 but considering the country is already on the verge of energy self-sufficiency there is still going to be a lot of oil coming onto the international market over the next decade.
所有这一切意味着巴西可能在2020年实现不了成倍供应石油的目标，但是考虑到这个国家在能源方面已经接近于自给自足，所以仍然有可能在接下来的几十年向国际市场输入大量石油u~9N(l%R^4oh。
China has already tried to get its foot in the door by investing in Brazil's oil and gas sector. President Barak Obama said the United States would be a loyal customer. How soon could all that happen will now depend on Brazil's government and the new CEO of Petrobrass-Maria das Gracas Silva Foster. If she succeeds, the global oil industry will have to make a room for one more at the table.
