With Collected Revenue Below Expectations and Oil Prices Low, Government Considers Auctioning Oil Surpluses Already in Production. Analysts See Limited Impact for Petrobras

Amid pressure for new revenue sources, the Brazilian government is evaluating conducting auctions for oil surpluses in fields that are already in production. The move arises in a scenario of collected revenue below expectations and oil prices in sharp decline.

Revenue Forecast Between US$ 3 Billion and 5 Billion

The expectation is that the new auctions will generate revenue of up to US$ 5 billion, which is equivalent to about R$ 28.5 billion. This amount is considered significant for public coffers, especially given the gap between the current average oil price, estimated at US$ 73, and the US$ 80 projected in the 2025 budget.

Limited Impact for Petrobras, Analysts Say

According to analysts at BTG Pactual, the government’s initiative is not expected to bring significant impacts for Petrobras (PETR4). The bank highlights that, even with lower oil prices, the state-owned company remains one of the best alternatives in the oil and gas sector.

Even in the face of adversity, BTG maintains its buy recommendation for Petrobras shares. The assessment considers the company’s financial structure, which is deemed solid.

The bank also maintains the target price of US$ 20.00 for Petrobras ADRs traded on the New York Stock Exchange (PBR).

Limited Impact for Petrobras, Analysts Say

Petrobras Maintains Buy Recommendation

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

Hyundai sells an executive minivan that looks like a VIP room on wheels: Custin carries 7 people, uses a 1.5 turbo engine with 168 hp, 8-speed automatic transmission, and costs around R$ 157,000 in direct conversion in Vietnam.

China creates a capsule with artificial intelligence that scans the stomach in just 8 minutes and can reduce costs by up to R$ 1,400, paving the way for a new era of gastrointestinal diagnostics without tubes, sedation, and discomfort for patients.

R$ 5,000 scattered on the street, a lost wallet, and an honest decision: the case in Goiás that moved even those who only read the story

Brazil’s almost forgotten neighbor found oil at sea, attracted ExxonMobil and Chevron, became a billion-dollar bet in global energy, and now tries to answer if quick wealth also turns into real development.

Scientists simulate nuclear fireball in the laboratory and discover a surprise in the radioactive fallout by observing how cesium, uranium, and cerium change when they remain at high temperatures for a longer time.
