In the statement, Petrobras said that the ruling determined that its subsidiary Petrobras Netherlands (PNBV) must pay approximately 37 million dollars plus interest, while the subsidiary Tupi B.V must pay approximately 33 million dollars plus interest.
The amount related to the conviction of PNBV has already been provisioned, but Petrobras stated that it will still make a provision in the fourth-quarter results regarding the stake in Tupi, in which PNBV holds a 67.6% stake.
The arbitration, which proceeds under confidentiality, involved a contract for the construction of modules for platforms (FPSOs), Petrobras explained, without providing further details.
Inepar Industry and Construction is in judicial recovery and controls Iesa Oil & Gas, and has stated that it will take measures to expedite the procedures related to the payment due.
Tupi is a consortium formed by Petrobras Netherlands (65%), BG (25%) and Galp (10%).
