Petrobras Halts Rigs in Bahia and Sergipe; 550 Oil Workers Become Unemployed

The halt of five oil rigs operating at Petrobras’s Operational Unit (UO) in Bahia will initially result in the layoff of 350 oil workers.

In addition to the oil fields in Bahia, Petrobras has also shut down the operations of four Braserv rigs in Sergipe, resulting in the layoff of 200 workers.

According to the Bahia Oil Workers’ Union (Sindipetro-BA), Petrobras refused to negotiate with the entity, which made several attempts to open dialogue to present proposals that could mitigate the impacts caused by the halt of these rigs, particularly regarding layoffs.

As a result, officially, the Petrobras management begins the halt of activities at UO-BA. According to the state-owned company, the halt of five of the 20 rigs in operation in Bahia is an initial measure that will be deepened, initially affecting the onshore fields of Água Grande, Dom João, Candeias, and Rio Pojuca.
