The governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro and the president of Petrobras met today (18), announcing billionaire investments in the Campos Basin and Comperj

The president of Petrobras was absolute this Monday (18) in a meeting with the then governor of Rio de Janeiro, Wilson Witzel, about the resumption of investments in several important segments of the industry. Among them are the injection of US$ 20 billion reais in mature fields in the Campos Basin over 5 years and the definitive rescue of Comperj, located in the city of Itaboraí, both in RJ.

“I received the president of Petrobras, and made myself available for the resumption of the Comperj works. I heard from them very important news for the revitalization of the mature fields in the Macaé area and the investments of the state-owned company. There are more jobs, more income and a better future for our state”, said Witzel.

Castelo Branco emphasized that Petrobras' new portfolio of services will take Macaé and the entire state of RJ to a new and important step in the economy, for at least the next 5 years, taking into account the current situation.

“Petrobras will invest US$57 billion in the state of Rio de Janeiro over the next five years, of which US$9 billion will be earmarked for revitalizing the Campos Basin fields. We believe that the state will have a significant boost in its economy, thanks to investments in the oil industry”, said Castelo Branco.

The mayor of Macaé, Dr Aluizio praised the event:  "When we started the campaign “Less Royalties, More Jobs”, and “Bacia de Campos, it is necessary to invest” we were sure that the mature fields would be the maintenance of activities and jobs in the city and region”( Via Twitter).
