ONIP

What ONIP does

ONIP (Organização Nacional da Indústria do Petróleo) is a private non-profit industry association headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, founded in 1999 immediately following the country's Petroleum Law and the opening of the upstream exploration and production market. The organization functions as the recognized coordination forum between operating companies, the domestic supply chain, government ministries (MME, MDIC), the regulator (ANP), and development institutions, with the stated mission of maximizing domestic industry participation, stimulating innovation, and increasing Brazilian exports of oil and gas goods and services.

ONIP is governed by a Board of Directors led by Chairman Eduardo Eugenio Gouvêa Vieira and operated by Director-General Marta Franco Lahtermaher. Its membership comprises eight state industrial federations — FIRJAN (Rio de Janeiro), FIESP (São Paulo), FIEMG (Minas Gerais), FIEMA (Maranhão), FIERN (Rio Grande do Norte), FIEB (Bahia), and FINDES (Espírito Santo) — together with four national associations: ABEMI (industrial engineering), CNI (national industry confederation), SINAVAL (shipbuilding and offshore construction), and ABIMAQ (machinery and equipment). Operationally, ONIP runs the CONECTA ONIP digital platform as a portal connecting supply-chain participants, publishes editorial properties (Radar ONIP, Conexão ONIP, Panorama ONIP, Ponto de Vista), maintains an industry event calendar (Agenda Óleo e Gás), and coordinates Brazil's supplier presence at international venues such as OTC Houston, Gastech, Amazon Energy, Sergipe Oil & Gas, and ROG.e, in partnership with APEXBrasil and EPE.

The business model is non-commercial: ONIP is funded by membership dues from its constituent federations and associations rather than transactional revenue. There are no commercial pricing tiers, no paying customers, and no disclosed financials; the entity is explicitly described as a non-profit industry association with 1–10 employees. Strategic emphasis in 2024–2026 has shifted toward internationalization of Brazilian suppliers (Angola, Guyana, Suriname, Thailand via Gastech), regional integration in the Norte/Equatorial Margin (Amazon Energy 2026), and active industrial-policy advocacy, including the public opposition to Provisional Measure 1.340/2026 on crude-export taxation.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP): IOGP is the international trade association for upstream oil and gas producers, coordinating industry positions on health, safety, environment, and sustainability. Comparable to ONIP as an industry-coordination body, but focused on global upstream operators rather than Brazilian supply-chain federations.
• American Petroleum Institute (API): API is the largest US oil and gas trade association, performing industry-government coordination and standards-setting functions analogous to ONIP but at much larger scale and across a broader O&G value chain. API's policy advocacy and standards work provides a useful comparability benchmark for ONIP's coordination model.
• World Petroleum Council (WPC): WPC is the global oil and gas industry forum organizing the World Petroleum Congress. Comparable to ONIP as an international convening platform for industry dialogue, though WPC focuses on global events and recognition rather than country-level industrial policy coordination.

Regional players

• ARPEL (Asociación Regional de Empresas del Sector Petróleo, Gas y Biocombustibles en América Latina y el Caribe): ARPEL is the regional industry association for oil, gas, and biofuels in Latin America and the Caribbean, coordinating industry positions across the region. Comparable to ONIP for its Latin American scope and industry-government coordination role, but at a regional rather than national level.

Others

• Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE): SPE is a global professional society for petroleum engineers, providing technical knowledge sharing and networking comparable in spirit to ONIP's industry-coordination role. While SPE focuses on technical professionals rather than industrial policy, both organizations serve as convening platforms for O&G sector stakeholders.

Direct peers

• Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo e Gás (IBP): IBP is Brazil's main oil and gas industry association, directly comparable to ONIP as both serve as convening forums for Brazilian O&G stakeholders. ONIP focuses on the industrial supply chain and local content, while IBP covers broader industry technical and operational issues — making them complementary rather than fully overlapping, but the closest direct peer in Brazil.
