“With this operation, Petrobras maintains its focus on reducing its indebtedness while concentrating its resources on assets with greater value generation potential, such as oil and gas fields in deep and ultra-deep waters. In parallel, Petrobras remains committed to the transition to a low-carbon economy, investing in new technologies for the decarbonization of production and in the development of more efficient and sustainable fuels. The company also continues to invest in renewables through research, aiming to acquire the necessary skills to eventually operate renewable sources on a larger scale in the future,” says Petrobras’ Director of Institutional Relations and Sustainability, Roberto Furian Ardenghy.
The remaining amount to be paid to the oil company (R$ 67.4 million) will depend on the approval of Cade (Administrative Council for Economic Defense).
Petrobras is divesting assets to focus on oil and gas exploration. According to the state-owned company, the operation “is aligned with the portfolio optimization strategy and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation,” it reported in a statement.
