The state-owned company announced the divestment last year, informing the sale of its stake in eight of its refineries. They are: REFAP (Alberto Pasqualini Refinery), REPAR (President Getúlio Vargas Refinery), RLAM (Landulpho Alves Mataripe Refinery), REGAP (in Minas Gerais), and RNEST (Abreu e Lima Refinery in Pernambuco).

These industrial plants comprise two regional refining blocks, with REFAP and REPAR supplying fuel and other derivatives for the southern region of the country, while RLAM and RNEST serve the northeast region.
Those interested in the assets must submit proposals by March 5 of this year. Interests come from all over: oil companies, investment funds, international groups, and Brazilian companies in the fuel distribution sector.
Among them, Grupo Ultra, Cosan, Sinopec, the investment fund Mubadala (Abu Dhabi), and EIG (an American company that controls the Port of Açu) are examples of companies that have already expressed interest in the refineries, according to industry sources.
However, Aepet states that, with the sales, Petrobras will be foregoing future revenues in exchange for money received in the short term from the sale of part of these refineries. According to the association, it is a mistake to dispose of any percentage of them, as they have a captive market and present good operational and financial results.
