MME Publishes Ordinance That Updates the PPSA Remuneration Model, Reinforces State Governance, and Prepares the Oil Sector for an Expansion Cycle in the Pre-Salt. Understand the Impacts of the Measure.

The oil sector returns to the spotlight with the publication of Ordinance No. 884/2025, signed by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). The measure, effective immediately, redefines the remuneration model of Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) and consolidates the guidelines set forth in Law No. 15,075/2024.

In a moment marked by the intensification of operations in the pre-salt, the government adjusts the regulatory framework to ensure efficiency, predictability, and financial sustainability for the state-owned company responsible for managing sharing contracts and for marketing oil and gas belonging to the Union.

Regulation Arrives to Modernize Processes and Adapt the PPSA to the New Pace of the Pre-Salt

The update published in the Official Gazette of the Union represents the conclusion of a cycle of debates held throughout 2025. The MME worked closely with the Civil House and the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) to formulate robust rules capable of keeping pace with the increasing complexity of activities in the pre-salt. This is because, in the coming years, the sector is expected to register an accelerated expansion of production, with more contracts, new operational modules, and unprecedented auctions, such as those for natural gas.

For the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, the change marks an essential advance in the PPSA’s operations. According to him, “the PPSA plays a decisive role in maximizing the Union’s results from the pre-salt.

With clear, modern rules aligned to future challenges, the MME guarantees the necessary structure for the company to continue growing with governance, transparency, and technical capacity.”

The statement reinforces the government’s view on the need to provide operational stability to the state-owned company, especially at a time when oil operations are increasing rapidly.

Thus, the new regulation emerges as a fundamental tool to enhance the autonomy of the PPSA and ensure greater budget predictability.

With the commencement of validity set for December 1st, the new remuneration contract positions the PPSA strategically to respond to the demands of the pre-salt, which is expected to experience one of the highest growth rates of the decade.

In this way, the ordinance strengthens governance, enhances internal management mechanisms, and supports the sustainable growth of the public company’s functions in one of the most relevant sectors of the Brazilian economy — the oil sector.
