Petrobras and the Selective Strategy

Petrobras acted selective in the auction, reflecting the strategy of recomposing its exploratory portfolio through new frontiers with geological potential.

The Role of Petrobras in the Market

Currently, almost 80% of the country's production Petrobras is concentrated in pre-salt, which remains the company's main asset, with better quality oil production and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Petrobras Portfolio Expansion

The 29 new blocks are added to the 47 blocks company's current portfolio, adding more than 20 thousand square kilometers to the previous portfolio of around 30 thousand square kilometers.

The Vision of the CEO of Petrobras

'New frontiers, like the blocks acquired today, are essential to meet energy demand. We seek to replenish reserves and develop new exploratory frontiers that guarantee the meeting of energy demand during the energy transition with the lowest possible carbon footprint', said the CEO of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates.
