Regarding the values, Petrobras stated that it is close to the estimate by the media, of US$ 1 billion and US$ 600 million. “Petrobras also informs that, when analyzing the offers of 3R Petroleum and Eneva, it takes into account in the analysis of the offers all value components and other conditions reflected in the proposals, including firm payments, contingent payments and other relevant contractual conditions, so that the amounts disclosed in the media do not provide a sufficient basis for comparing the offers received,” the company said.
Depending on the result of this assessment by Eneva and 3R Petroleum, Petrobras may promote a new round of request for binding proposals to all participants in the process, based on the Divestment System.
