The Fine Relates to 21.4 Thousand Liters of Hydraulic Fluid. Petrobras Also Received Other Six Fines, Totaling R$ 78 Thousand, for Irregular Spills at Pre-Salt Platforms.

The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama) fined Petrobras R$ 256 thousand for releasing 21.4 thousand liters of hydraulic fluid into the sea from the drilling ship Norbe IX, located in the Atapu Field, in the Santos Basin. The company also received six more fines, totaling R$ 78 thousand, for other spills at pre-salt platforms. This is the third consecutive month that the oil company has received fines from Ibama for spills.

In a statement, Petrobras declared that it complies with legal requirements to inform the environmental authority of incidents and continuously monitors them. The largest fine refers to the spill that occurred from the Norbe IX drilling ship, which resulted in a leak of glycol-based hydraulic fluid (alcohol used as an antifreeze).
