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.
