Brazil rides out the 'oil storm' - 21 Jun 08

While much of the world grapples with the current fuel crisis, Brazil is one country that's been able to ride out the storm.
This is attributed to the country producing almost all the fuel it needs.

With many natural gas and oil fields still untapped, Petrobras - the country's state-owned oil company - is set to become a big player in the region.

Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman took an inside look at the company's workings.
