LatAm’s biggest commercial crude oil event and meeting place
Latin America’s leading commercial crude conference returns to Rio de Janeiro on 18–20 May 2026, bringing together senior producers, traders, refiners, ports, shippers and financiers from across the region and global markets.
Join industry leaders including Petrobras, Shell, ExxonMobil, Aramco Americas, Trafigura, BP, Vitol, Glencore, Repsol Sinopec Brasil, CITGO, Karoon Energy, BTG Pactual, Petronas, Total Austral, PetroChina, ENEOS, Pemex Deer Park, PPSA, Macquarie, Ipiranga, and Hartree Partners — already confirmed to attend — and be part of the conversation shaping the future of crude markets.
As global crude markets face rising volatility — from geopolitical risk across the Middle East to structural change throughout Latin America — long‑held commercial assumptions are being tested. The Argus Rio Crude Conference brings these dynamics together, connecting global developments with regional realities including FPSO growth, VLCC readiness, freight constraints, sanctions exposure and evolving buyer demand. It gives senior leaders the insight, price context and connections needed for informed commercial discussions and deal preparation. This is where Latin America’s crude market is analysed, priced and connected.
