(Gaspetro), informs the postponement, to April 30, 2020, of the deadline for qualification of potential buyers for the non-binding phase.” the oil company said in a statement.

The state-owned company did not provide details on the delay, and stated that the next steps of the project will be disclosed to the market in due time.

This operation is aligned with optimizing the company’s portfolio and improving its capital allocation, aiming to maximize value for its shareholders.

About Gaspetro

Gaspetro is a holding company with stakes in various gas distributors, which distributed 29 million cubic meters of the product per day in 2019. In corporate terms, Petrobras holds 51% of the company and Mitsui Gas and Energy holds 49%.

Gaspetro is an important asset in Petrobras’ divestment program.

The day before, a source from the company told Reuters that Petrobras would evaluate the possibility of short-term adjustments to its business plan, as the crisis generated by the coronavirus and a price war declared by Saudis are lowering commodity prices.
