In Brazil, the new crisis regarding the price of a barrel of oil is calling into question Petrobras’ decision to focus its business on exploration and production. By concentrating efforts solely on oil, the state-owned company seems to become vulnerable to price fluctuations of the product. An article published by Petronotícias states that, according to geologist and member of the Petrobras Engineers Association (Aepet), Luciano Chagas, if barrel prices remain around US$ 31, the company’s revenue will worsen due to lower selling prices of the input.
In the global oil and gas market, the price of a barrel of oil shows a reaction after last Monday’s chaos, when there was a drop of about 30% in barrel prices. The price of WTI is up about 8% compared to the previous day. Meanwhile, Brent is up 9%, worth around US$ 37. The recovery brings some relief to the market, but it is still far from repairing all the financial damage recorded yesterday.

Russia has also indicated that its fields can increase production by up to 300,000 barrels per day in the short term.
