Since Brazil happens to have huge oil reserves offshore?

Could it use so-called petro diplomacy against Hugo Chavez's ambitions in South American geopolitics in countering him spreading his 'Bolivan Revoltution';Since Brazil happens to have huge oil reserves offshore?
I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil was building a nuclear missile plant at this very moment....





...well, it worked for stealing Iraqs oil....Since Brazil happens to have huge oil reserves offshore?
I have zero interest in South America. There is zero law and order down there. I know they have oil down there but it is mostly a vast jungle and war like Viet Nam and we should stay out, Why do we not drill more off of the United States or Canada or Alaska, We have oil and gas in our own country.
With Lula as president, that will never happen. The US is seen as more of a threat than Venezuela.
