“Potential buyers qualified for this phase will receive an invitation letter with detailed instructions on the divestment process, including guidance on due diligence and submission of binding proposals,” Petrobras said in the statement.

Petrobras emphasizes that the deal is aligned with the strategy to optimize the investment portfolio and improve the company’s capital allocation, and has increasingly focused its resources on world-class assets, that is, assets more resilient to volatility. Oil prices present lower risks and higher financial returns.
