With The Announcement of Selling Its Stake in the Petrochemical Braskem and the Purchase of the Minority Stake in Repsol Sinopec Brasil, Petrobras Is Seen Differently
Two news items related to Petrobras have stirred the oil and gas market in recent days: Focusing on centralizing its investments in exploration and production activities, the state-owned company announced that it plans to sell its stake in the petrochemical Braskem within a maximum of 12 months, and it advocates that the company be listed on the Novo Mercado of the São Paulo stock exchange B3, as a way to achieve greater value in the operation, CEO Roberto Castello Branco said on Friday. “We are committed to divesting in Braskem,” said Castello Branco while attending a meeting with analysts and investors in London.

On the other hand, Petrobras received approval from the Brazilian competition defense authority (Cade) to acquire a minority stake in Repsol Sinopec Brasil in block ES-M-414, in the maritime area of the Espírito Santo basin, where the state-owned company already held a majority stake.
The companies informed Cade that the operation involves Repsol Sinopec’s exit from the asset “through the exercise of its right of withdrawal— and the subsequent free transfer of its stake to Petrobras,” which was provided for in the joint operation agreement between the companies.
