“The decision is the result of a very thorough analysis of our global portfolio and an assessment of individual projects and how they fit into our long-term strategy”, stated Thilo Wieland, a board member of Wintershall Dea responsible for the regions of Russia, Latin America, and Transportation. In Latin America, the oil company also operates in Argentina.

Natural gas makes up approximately 70% of Wintershall Dea’s portfolio, which also produces oil, focusing on specific regions and projects that align with the company’s climate goals. Wintershall Dea also stated that it has no remaining minimum work commitments in the licenses or other relevant financial obligations in Brazil.
