Petrobras Announced Yesterday Evening, September 13, Personnel Plan for Employees Assigned to Assets/Units Undergoing Divestment
Petrobras reports that it has approved a personnel plan for employees assigned to assets/units undergoing divestment, which includes three tools: Internal Recruitment, Termination Agreement Procedure (PDA), and a Specific Voluntary Termination Program (PDV). Yesterday, the state-owned company announced its intention to sell its offshore gas pipelines from the pre-salt.
The personnel plan will be presented to employees at the beginning of the binding phase of each divestment process. These initiatives are aligned with Petrobras’s strategy of active portfolio management.

Brooms are becoming a thing of the past: new technology with a cordless vacuum cleaner featuring up to 60 minutes of run time, 3x more powerful suction, and anti-mite filters promises to eliminate up to 99% of dust and revolutionize cleaning in 2026.
In this process, common to other oil companies, the company is divesting from certain assets and focusing on others that are more aligned with its expertise, thus seeking to increase value generation and greater competitiveness against its competitors.
In turn, another company may invest in these assets/units, generating greater returns for society.
Petrobras reinforces its commitment to transparency and respect for all its employees.
The Oil Company Denies Mass Layoffs After the Evacuation of Torre Pituba
Petrobras stated, in a statement this Wednesday, the 11th, that “the information about mass layoffs of service providers is not true” regarding the evacuation of the Torre Pituba building in Salvador. The information about the termination of contractors was disclosed by the Bahia Petroleum Workers Union, Sindipetro.
The state-owned company also reported that the property has an occupancy rate of 20% and “high rental and maintenance costs.” According to the company, the evacuation occurs “as part of a strategy to reduce costs in all its processes and activities, including building occupancy.”
“The Torre Pituba currently houses not only support activities for operations in Bahia but also serves other administrative areas of Petrobras, which are evaluating the best solutions for allocating their teams and activities, not necessarily implying transfers to other states and regions,” said Petrobras.
Furthermore, according to the state-owned company, studies are also being conducted to adjust service contracts according to the company’s needs in the state.
“This adjustment movement for reducing building occupancy costs is not specific to a particular region. This year, the Edisp building in São Paulo has already been evacuated, new facilities have been contracted, and some teams have been relocated, generating an annual savings of about R$ 20 million for the company. With the same intent, the Ventura Building in downtown Rio de Janeiro and the Novo Cavaleiros Building in Macaé are being evacuated,” states the announcement.
