The sales are part of Petrobras' 2017-2021 Business and Management Plan. "The entire process will follow Petrobras' disinvestment system, a document that is fully aligned with the directives of the Federal Court of Auditors, which details the procedures for the sale of company assets", the company said in a note.
The oil company also points out that the resumption of production or its transformation for another purpose will be the responsibility of the future buyer.
Ansa is a neighbor of the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery, which supplies it with raw material, where Petrobras is also in the process of negotiating more advanced Repar, which attracted the attention of companies such as Raízen (a joint venture between Shell and the energy and logistics conglomerate Cosan) and Ultrapar, owner of the Ipiranga Network.
Congressional action against the sale of Petrobras refineries will be judged by the STF starting on Friday
The plenary of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) is due to judge, as of next Friday, an injunction requested in July by Congress to prevent the sale by Petrobras of its refineries, with the petition citing the refining units of Bahia (RLAM) and Paraná (Repar)
According to the STF, the judgment will take place in the virtual plenary, extending until September 25, and should have the participation of 11 ministers. At the end of July, the Federal Audit Court (TCU) issued a favorable opinion on the continuation of the sale process of Petrobras' refineries.
The expectation is that eight Petrobras refineries will be sold by next year, according to the agreement with Cade. Together, the units have 1,1 million daily oil processing capacity, around 50% of the country's refining park.
The first refinery to go on the market, Rlam, from Bahia, is in exclusive negotiation with the Mubadala fund, from Abu Dhabi.
