This week, executives from the oil company stated that the outlook is to receive the expected total value for the refineries by the end of 2021. So far, the refinery with the most advanced sale process is the Landulpho Alves Refinery (Rlam) in Bahia.

“We expect to close at least some of these divestments by the end of next year,” said the Refining and Natural Gas Director of the company, Anelise Lara.

The state company is negotiating the sale of Rlam in Bahia with the sovereign fund Mubadala from Abu Dhabi. The transaction is already in the internal approval phase and should be finalized by January.

On December 10, Petrobras expects to receive binding offers for the sale of the Alberto Pasqualini Refinery (Refap) in Rio Grande do Sul and the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar) in Paraná. The Gabriel Passos Refinery (Regap) in Minas Gerais and the Abreu e Lima Refinery (Rnest) should receive offers in the first quarter of 2021.

Lara also stated that Petrobras will continue to be competitive in the refining market in the Country after the sale of eight of its 13 refineries.

“We will continue with 1.1 million barrels of oil being processed per day. We have already taken various actions in energy efficiency, decarbonization, digital transformation, and we are also developing more advanced products,” said Lara.
