The document discusses HeliLogistic's strategy for developing business opportunities in Brazil's oil and gas industry. It provides background information on Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned oil company, including its investments, production projects, and challenges developing pre-salt oil reserves. The strategy identifies opportunities for HeliLogistic in critical equipment and services needed by Petrobras, especially as it expands operations for the pre-salt reserves, and recommends partnering with local suppliers and considering incentives to manufacture in Brazil.

12. Petrobrasis revising its 2020 Strategic Plan and 2010-2014 Investment Plan turning it to a new 2011-2015 Investment Plan considering the the subsalt (Petrobras nominated as pre-salt) discoveries and development, which turns out to be a new challenge that will raise opportunities for the oil & gas industry and for foreign direct investments in Brazil.

13. Important to say that creativity and some risk management could make a difference for the success in the next years to develop oil & gas business in Brazil.3

ThePre-salt: March 2006: Afterdrilling for oneyearandthreemonthsatanexcessivecostof US$240 million (usual costs in Campos Basin is in theorderof US$18 million), Petrobras foundgas traces in Parati fieldat 7,600 m deep. Thisdiscoverygavemotivation for anotherdrilling in the RJS-628A welllatelycalled Tupi field (BM-S-11), located in Santos Basin, 300km fromthecoast. In August 2006 Petrobras confirmed proved reserves of 3 billion barrels in Tupi field. Considering Tupi area Petrobras estimates 8 billion boe and another drillings in sequence rise the estimation up to 100 billion boe. Blocks discovered so far: Parati (BM-S-10), Tupi and Iara (BM-S-11), Bem-te-vi (BM-S-8), Carioca and Guara (BM-S-9), Caramba (BM-S-21), Jupiter (BM-S-24) and two discoveries in the Campos Basin located in Baleias Park (Caxareu and Pirambu). This discoveries will change the face of oil & gas business in Brazil as the Federal Government is preparing to intervene with new controls for the subsalt and to create another Government company to handle the new subsalt reserves. 19

71. Petrobrasiniciates second phase in Santos Basin By closing the first cycle in the Santos Basin, which included the production fields in the post-salt, deployment and operation of the infrastructure in the pre-salt and the start of commissioning of gas, Petrobras will invest now in the areas of offshore support to coordinate the logistics between the mainland and platforms. According to general manager of the Unit Operations of Exploration and Production in the Santos Basin, José LuizMarcusso will be two new logistic bases - one in Itaguaí (RJ) and another in the Santos Air Base, located in the city of Guaruja (SP ) on the shores of the port of Santos. This new stage will attract suppliers of Petrobras for the future around the logistics base. So far, multinationals such as Halliburton retained a core group of executives focused on customer relationships in offices that opened in BS, especially in the wake of discoveries in the subsalt. "Some already exploring areas near the airbase, but most waits for the completion of the study being conducted by Petrobras," says Marcusso. Currently, sending supplies by sea to 17 rigs and production systems at seven of the Santos Basin occurs from the city of Macaé (RJ) and Itajai (SC). Air transport, designed to carry people and small parts are made from Jacarepagua (RJ), Mariners (SC) and Itanagar (SP). But the start of commercial production of oil and gas in the pre-salt initiates a new phase of impressive numbers, which would require boosting the performance of all areas. "It will be a very big jump over the decade. In 2020, even without considering the onerous assignment, the current strategic plan has operated points total production of 1.8 million barrels per day Saints, or the portion of Petrobras in the range of 1.100 million, "says Marcusso. In some blocks, the company operates with partners. By the end of the year operated production in the Santos Basin will be 130 thousand barrels per day, that volume will increase gradually, and should reach 1 million barrels per day in 2017. In terms of comparison, the Campos Basin, a major producer, today provides between 1.6 million and 1.7 million barrels a day. 27

75. Beginning HeliLogistic Operations in Brazil Considering the market conditions and the correct timing, the official presence of HeliLogistic in Brazil should follow some guidelines: Integrating HeliLogistic How the organization will be structured, understanding IT, business and communicating systems and necessities, financial, budget and general HeliLogistic procedures. Hiring and integrating team work, defining milestones, daily business activities and routines. 31

76. Beginning HeliLogisticoperations in Brazil Establishing business (1 year) Establish the business plan and dimension the budget for the operation in Brazil, build the initial team (expertise and profile according to company procedures), general resources, planning for bid’s proposals and actions, general strategy. Corporation market conditions in Brazil (Benchmark and Market share). General operation and risk management, size up the business, strengthness and weakness. Take advantage of opportunities in other countries that could be practiced in Brazilian operations. Revise defined milestones, personnel analysis for the team according to provided status and general corporation procedures. 32

77. Beginning HeliLogisticoperations in Brazil Attending the established business and strategic program. Team work organization and interaction with corporation staff in order to organize and to be introduced to current business. Manage troubleshooting and urgent matters on business. Improve relationship with the market and rapport to transmit the better understanding of business singularies in Brazil, Petrobras structure and energy sector. Study Possible joint ventures and due diligence for acquisitions within Brazilian Market. Strategic presence on Chambers of Commerce (USA, UK, Canada, France), Industry Associations, Trade Fairs and Conferences. 33

78. Beginning HeliLogisticoperations in Brazil As HeliLogistic turns official the appointment of a Country Manager in Brazil, one important duty will be to detach the presence of HeliLogistic in Brazil. Visits to Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to make an official announcement that HeliLogistic will be investing in Brazil in projects beginning with oil & gas segment is key. Taking all the legal procedures to incorporate and import the new helicopters to Brazil already prepared for offshore operations. 34
