The International Market Opened Its Doors for Low Sulfur Oil from Petrobras Coming from the Pre-Salt

It seems that Petrobras’ new formula for low sulfur oil from the Pre-Salt is proving to be a great success in the international market. In a press conference, the current president of the state-owned company reported that the product is being sold as a brand reference abroad.

The Pandemic Showed Petrobras the Importance of Insertion in the International Market

Castello Branco states that the pandemic brought difficulties, but also demonstrated that it is extremely important for companies like Petrobras to insert themselves into the international market.

“I have good feelings; after all, the oil market out there is much larger than in Brazil. Here, I can not only showcase the low sulfur oil coming from the pre-salt but also have more flexibility amid the pandemic.

The Brazilian state oil and gas company, Petrobras, saw monthly fuel oil exports jump year on year. May’s figure of 1.11 million tons of fuel oil exceeded February’s number (the previous record) by 10%. However, compared to the same month the previous year, the increase was 231%, according to the news agency Mercopress.

Petrobras has been focusing on pre-salt fuel exports as the global market shifts toward products with lower sulfur content. The company stated that the new global sulfur specification for marine fuels is behind the increase.

“With demand for our products proving to be better than expected, we opted to gradually return average production to about 2.26 million barrels per day in April while also increasing utilization rates at the refineries,” Petrobras told Reuters.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.
