The Brazilian company acquired the stake in January last year. However, with the adverse scenario in the oil and gas sector, the oil company chose to renegotiate the financing. This measure aims for a “substantial improvement in short and medium-term liquidity” and “greater balance in the company’s cash management.”
“The negotiation of these instruments, which took place in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, will allow for a substantial improvement in short and medium-term liquidity and, consequently, a greater balance in the company’s cash management,” reported PetroRio.
The company reported that the acquisition represented an important step in executing its strategy, significantly reducing production costs and allowing it to achieve an oil extraction cost of US$ 17.3 per barrel.
