The state-owned company re-evaluated the economic recoverability of its assets in light of the current crisis in the global oil industry. According to the company, in its financial statement, “there will be a structural change in the world economy, as permanent effects of the shock caused by the current crisis on the economy are expected, as well as a change in consumer habits, which are already observed today and tend to be enduring.”

With the current scenario, Petrobras has downgraded the value of several deepwater fields, especially in Roncador, Marlim Sul; Polo Norte, Albacora Leste, Polo Berbigão-Sururu, Polo CVIT, and Mexilhão. The devaluation of this set of assets reached R$ 57.6 billion.

Meanwhile, the losses related to shallow water fields totaled R$ 6.625 billion. “The impairment of shallow water fields corresponds to 100% of the book value of these assets, which had an average production of 23 thousand barrels of oil per day,” the oil company detailed.
