According to revelations made by the Bahia Oil Workers Union on Wednesday, the 4th, Petrobras will cease its activities in Bahia and throughout the Northeast, despite the state-owned company claiming it is unaware of this statement
“Petrobras will cease its activities in Bahia and throughout the Northeast”, is what the company’s employees and the Bahia Oil Workers Union revealed to Bahia Notícias on Wednesday, the 4th. What is happening is that the state-owned company is preparing to sell eight oil refineries on October 11, including RLAM and its port, Temadre.
According to the director of Sindipetro Bahia, Radiovaldo Costa, the union has been denouncing since the inauguration of the new leadership and government the company’s intention to adopt measures that signal a reduction of the company in the state or a complete exit.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

However, Petrobras’ press office did not confirm the measures and said it is unaware of the facts. The truth is that Petrobras will not cease its activities in Bahia and the Northeast, as has been reported in the press.
The fact is that the state-owned company is preparing to sell eight oil refineries on October 11, including RLAM and its port, Temadre.
The RLAM is the second-largest refinery in the country and the largest individual contributor to ICMS in the State of Bahia, and there are already 20 companies interested in its purchase, according to former president of the Bahia Commercial Association, Adari Oliveira, in an article in Bahia Econômica.
There are oil giants interested in purchasing RLAM, such as Ultrapar, Raízen, Petrochina, Sinopec, and Saudi Aramco. All have signed confidentiality agreements that guarantee access to refinery data.
The operator that wins the Mataripe auction could open Temadre for third-party cargo movement, with more than 20 million tons per year.
Adari Oliveira says this will be good for Bahia, as there will be competition and greater dynamism in the economy.
Independent companies operating in oil and gas exploration in the Northeast are also preparing to acquire Petrobras’ mature oil fields.
It is true that the company wants to transfer workers from the Pituba building, many of whom have no function since the construction of the building is under investigation by Operation Lava Jato.
The state-owned company is also encouraging employees to move to the Southeast states, but this is not because the company will close, but rather to establish two competition hubs: one state-owned in the Southeast and one private in the Northeast.
Petrobras and other oil giants are excluded from Danish fund
