Associação dos Engenheiros da Petrobrás

What Associação dos Engenheiros da Petrobrás does

Associação dos Engenheiros da Petrobrás (AEPET) is a Brazilian non-profit professional association founded in 1961, headquartered at Av. Nilo Peçanha, 50, Centro, Rio de Janeiro. It represents engineers and technical professionals employed at Petrobras, advocating for national sovereignty in energy policy, state ownership of Petrobras, and protection of the technical workforce against privatization and pricing policies it opposes (such as Preço Paritário de Importação and the export of crude oil). As a formally recognized minority shareholder, AEPET exercises voting rights at Petrobras shareholder meetings and publishes its formal positions through the Notas, Cartas, and Votos publication series.

AEPET's service portfolio combines advocacy and member benefits. Member benefits include specialized legal advisory (Assessoria Jurídica Especializada), medical assistance (Assistência Médica — AMA), and mobile ICU emergency services (UTI Móvel). Its media and content offering comprises the Boletim AEPET Direto daily email bulletin, a digital library (Biblioteca Digital), the AEPET TV video platform, and editorial articles authored by named contributors including President Felipe Coutinho, a chemical engineer.

The association operates on voluntary member contributions ('contribuição voluntária de seus associados') under a society-without-profit motive structure. It has no disclosed pricing tiers, no public revenue figures, and no headcount data. Distribution is primarily digital: a website (aepet.org.br), YouTube channel, WhatsApp and Telegram channels, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. Felipe Coutinho (chemical engineer) currently serves as President and is the leading public voice of the organization.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP): International oil and gas producer association. Comparable to AEPET at the industry-association level for representing upstream sector interests, though IOGP represents corporate operators rather than individual engineers.
• Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE): Global professional society for petroleum engineers, publishing technical content and offering member benefits. Comparable to AEPET as a membership association for oil and gas engineers, though operating at international scale rather than tied to a single employer.
• CONFEA / Conselho Federal de Engenharia e Agronomia: Brazilian federal council regulating the engineering profession nationwide. Comparable to AEPET as a structural body representing Brazilian engineers, though CONFEA is a regulatory council rather than an advocacy association.
• World Petroleum Council (WPC): Global petroleum council promoting knowledge exchange across the oil and gas sector. Comparable to AEPET as an organization advancing petroleum-sector technical dialogue and advocacy, though at international rather than single-employer scope.

Regional players

• Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Química (ABEQ): Brazilian association of chemical engineers. Directly comparable to AEPET as a discipline-specific Brazilian engineering association providing member benefits, technical content, and advocacy.
• Associação dos Engenheiros e Arquitetos de Santos (AEAS): Local engineering association in the Santos basin region. Comparable to AEPET as a Brazilian regional engineers' association serving petroleum-sector professionals with member benefits and technical programming.

Others

• Associação dos Membros dos Tribunais de Contas do Brasil (ATRICON): Brazilian association of fiscal court members. Tangentially comparable to AEPET as a Brazilian sectoral membership association that publishes position papers, votes in institutional contexts, and advocates on public-interest governance matters.

Direct peers

• Instituto Brasileiro de Petróleo e Gás (IBP): Brazil's main oil and gas industry association. Like AEPET, IBP operates in the Brazilian petroleum ecosystem as an industry-facing membership and technical body, making it the closest functional peer for AEPET.
• Clube de Engenharia: Brazilian engineering club founded in 1936 providing member benefits, publications, and policy advocacy on infrastructure and energy issues. Closely comparable to AEPET as a legacy Brazilian engineering membership association with a policy-advocacy mission.
• Federação Única dos Petroleiros (FUP): Brazilian oil workers' federation representing Petrobras employees. Closely comparable to AEPET as a Petrobras-focused representational body, though FUP operates as a labor union with collective bargaining rather than an engineering advocacy association.
