Petrobras will be a much smaller company but very profitable despite its recent divestments. The main impact of rising product prices concerning the sale of the assets was that they were brought to market value, operating at a negative margin and leading the company towards insolvency.

In 2018, Petrobras earned US$ 3.85 per barrel refined (equivalent to R$ 0.10 per liter of derivative sold). This amount did not come from the increase in prices and debt structuring but from asset sales, debt restructuring through lower interest rates, and increased production from the pre-salt, among other factors.

Petrobras’ investments for 2020 will be 12.2 billion, 2021 will be 14.3 billion, 2022 will be 16.0 billion, 2023 will be the highest at 21.0 billion, and 2024 will have 15.3 billion dollars.

Of the projected investments, the pre-salt will take up the largest share, 59%, divided among Búzios, part of exploration, and others. 5% will be invested in onshore projects and R&D. The percentage for deep-water post-salt will be 29%.

Additionally, in the post-salt area, the amount allocated to the asset will cover nine projects: Roncador, Albacora, Albacora Leste, Tartaruga Verde, Barracuda-Caratinga, Marlim, Marlim Sul, Marlim Leste, located in the Campos Basin and also, Sergipe-Alagoas.
