According to Petrobras, this operation aligns with the strategy of portfolio optimization and the improvement of the company’s capital allocation, which has increasingly focused resources on world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters.
For the deal to proceed, there are several conditions. One of them is that Petrobras’s current partner in Rabo Branco, Petrom, does not exercise its right of first refusal in the transaction. Another condition is the approval of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP).
