According to the state-owned company, the postponement of proposals from eight refineries aims to “ensure the effective completion of due diligence by potential buyers,” at a time when measures to contain the coronavirus recommend social distancing.

Petrobras did not provide a new date for the submission of proposals in a process that has attracted large companies, many of them foreign.

In a statement, Petrobras “reinforces its commitment to the project to sell refining assets and their respective logistical assets, as stipulated in its 2020-2024 Strategic Plan.”

The move confirms expectations that the sale process of the refineries could be delayed. The state-owned company would make short-term adjustments to its business plan amid the drop in oil prices.

Petrobras’ business plan foresees divestments between US$ 20 billion and US$ 30 billion for the 2020-2024 period, with the largest concentration in the years 2020 and 2021, with the eventual sale of the eight refineries.

The Postponed Processes Of Petrobras Include The Following Refineries

  • Abreu e Lima (Rnest) in Pernambuco
  • Landulpho Alves (Rlam) in Bahia
  • Presidente Getúlio Vargas (Repar)
  • Shale Industrialization Unit (SIX) in Paraná
  • Alberto Pasqualini (Refap) in Rio Grande do Sul
  • Gabriel Passos Refinery (Regap) in Minas Gerais
  • Isaac Sabbá Refinery (Reman) in Amazonas
  • Lubricants And Oil Derivatives Of The Northeast (Lubnor) in Ceará.
