The company’s president also mentioned that the focus of exploration activities will continue to be in the Santos Basin, but added that there will also be investments in other new areas, such as the Equatorial Margin.

Focus On Oil Exploration And Production:

During the Credit Suisse online event, Roberto defended Petrobras’ position of focusing solely on oil exploration and production. The executive believes that, even during the energy transition, oil will still have a broad role in the world.

“Most of the things we do in our daily lives would be unfeasible without fossil fuels. I do not advocate for fossil fuels, but for rational decisions,” he said.

Renewable Energy Market:

The major oil companies in the world, such as Equinor, BP, and Total, have been showing projects to expand their businesses in the renewable energy market. According to the company’s executive, he stated that the company does not have expertise in this area and therefore prefers to invest in a method he knows: oil and natural gas production.
