During an event in the State, an important announcement was made by the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira.
The president of Petrobras (PETR4), Jean Paul Prates, reaffirmed in a statement on social media that the state-owned company plans to invest R$10 billion in Minas Gerais. This announcement was made during an event in the state, where Prates was summoned by the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira. Both participated in the 1st Oil, Gas and Biofuels Meeting to strengthen the industrial and commercial production chain, which took place in Belo Horizonte.
The event was held in partnership with the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Federation of Industries of the State of Minas Gerais (Fiemg), as reported by Prates. During the meeting, he announced that the Gabriel Passos Refinery (Regap) would receive an investment of US$2,6 billion by 2030.
Solid investments by Petrobras for the next 4 years
Subsequently, Petrobras, through a statement to investors, informed that investments would be R$2 billion by 2027. Furthermore, preliminary studies indicate that the refinery's processing capacity could be increased to up to 40 thousand m3 per day, compared to the current 26 thousand m3 per day, which would require an additional investment of R$8 billion.

- An airport worth over 1 BILLION that has been idle for almost 20 years would generate 58 THOUSAND jobs and increase the region's GDP by 20% if it were activated! But what is needed for the project to get off the ground?
In his post on social media, Prates highlighted the importance of Minas Gerais for Petrobras' future plans, highlighting that the state is one of the main hubs generating supply, supply and services for the oil industry. He stated that the expectation is that more than 200 thousand direct and indirect jobs can be generated with these investments.
Petrobras is investing in projects in the state, such as expanding Regap's processing capacity, as part of its strategy to expand and strengthen the oil and gas sector.
These investments represent an opportunity for economic growth for Minas Gerais, in addition to contributing to the generation of jobs and the development of local industry. The partnership between the state-owned company and the state promises to boost the sector and bring benefits to both Petrobras and the economy of Minas Gerais.
