Abstract
This dissertation was written in the context of the pre

-

salt findings and the

consequential business opportunities that these discoveries represented for the

of

fshore industry. The authors, throughout their Master studies, were exposed to

lectures and participated in discussions with professionals from the Offshore and

Shipping industries and with academics from such areas.

The authors identified, during such in

teractions, the lack of literature focusing

in the internationalization to emerging offshore markets. The opportunities of gains

presented by pre

-

salt basins’ countries are vast, however equally are the

challenges, as business practices and conditions vari

ed deeply from the investors’

home countries. Therefore, this work aims at developing a risk assessment that

could be used for companies and academics when evaluating internationalization to

Brazil and Angola, where some of the biggest pre

-

salt discoveries

were made in

recent years.

The research methods focused on literature review and case studies

approach, alongside interviews and participation in seminars and company

presentations. The interviews were performed with professionals, from academic

and corp

orate sectors, who had been in contact with the oil and gas industry in

Angola or Brazil, or both.

The authors believe that the main contribution of this work is the development

of a seminal risk assessment framework for companies aiming to internationaliz

e to

the offshore industry in emerging markets. The findings and the proposed

assessment are presented after a detailed analysis of each country. The biggest

research limitation was the lack of scientific literature and available

financial

data

from compan

ies

, which rendered the research design of this work qualitative

. T

he

authors invite other academics and professionals to expand the proposed

framework and continue the production of scientific papers that focus on the pre

-

salt

opportunities.
