There Are Institutions That View This Agreement Favorably and Others Do Not, the Fact That the Technology That Only Petrobras Has Will Now Be Delivered to the Private Sector.

[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]Petrobras and Shell Have Just Signed a Mutual Collaboration Agreement Aimed at Sharing Technology, Technical and Operational Data. According to the Companies, This Agreement Is Only Valid for the Same Assets Where Both Companies Operate.

The Paperwork Was Signed in the Netherlands by Their Presidents Pedro Parente and Ben Van (Petrobras and Shell, Respectively). According to Them, This Agreement Aims to Reduce Costs in Offshore Activities, Logistics Transportation, and Aviation.

In This Signed Agreement, the Creation of a Commission with Representatives from Both Companies Is Provided, Aiming to Oversee and Improve Operational Processes. The Companies Share 50% of the Consortium Operations as Exploration Partners in 10 Assets.

Unions Protest

For Practical Purposes, Petrobras Is Giving Access to Technological Secrets That Only Petrobras Holds to Explore the Pre-Salt. This Technology Was Developed on Fundão Island, at UFRJ.

In the Activists’ View, the Companies Are Already Partners in Several Consortiums and There Would Be No Need for This Agreement; This Would Be Just Another Maneuver to Hand Over the State Company to the Private Sector. In Their Thinking, If Other Companies Have Access to the Same Technology as Petrobras, There Would No Longer Be a Need for Petrobras to Participate in Assets That Require This Type of Technological Apparatus.
