A three-year agreement for work in offshore infrastructure covers Brazil, one of the world's emerging oil leaders, TechnipFMC said Tuesday. The French field services company said it secured the agreement, which includes a two-year renewable option, with Petróleo Brasileiro, known more commonly as Petrobras.

The main contributors to growth were the United States, Brazil and Canada. Non-OPEC supply next year is expected to increase 2.1 million barrels per day, with Brazil accounting for about 20 percent of that growth.
