“The main idea is that we can bring sustainable products to the Brazilian public in all areas we operate, adding value not only to the brand but also to the product. We want to keep our focus on quality refining and competitiveness, which can truly generate gains in the sustainable chain,” emphasizes the Director of Refining and Natural Gas at Petrobras, Anelise Lara.
Petrobras Gas+ Program
In summary, the Petrobras Gas+ program’s main goal is to increase the oil company’s competitiveness in the natural gas market. To make this possible, Petrobras plans to invest even more in digital contracts and sales through automated platforms, always trying to further retain customers and leave them with a sense of satisfaction.

Cutting-Edge Technology and AI
Petrobras has started using Microsoft’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance the safety of workers involved in its offshore operations, which is also part of the low carbon policy.
This innovation will help analyze images of field tasks focused on safety, environment, and health, detecting deviations and incidents, such as the improper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), unsafe positioning concerning loads, obstruction of escape routes, and access to restricted areas.
