Petrobras is reassessing Golar Power’s risk rating to determine whether the company can do business with the state-owned company, including participation in the bidding process for the regasification terminal in Bahia.
“Due to the facts revealed in the 75th phase of Operation Lava Jato related to the Golar Power Group, Petrobras informs that a review of the Integrity Analysis of this supplier is underway. This analysis is regularly conducted with all the company’s suppliers and assigns different Grades of Integrity Risk (GRI). Any change in the perception of integrity risk that Petrobras may be exposed to when dealing with the companies of the Golar Power Group will be promptly communicated to its Legal Representatives,” said Petrobras in a statement.
