Annual Report 2006 9 Message from the CEO The year 2006 was one of achievement and new prospects for Petrobras. In addition to the record results – consolidated earnings of R$ 25.9 billion and investments of R$ 33.7 billion – and a 4% increase in total production of oil and natural gas, the company is girding itself for a new challenge, set down in the Business Plan 2007-2011: to maintain its rapid rate of growth. The targets are ambitious ones, leading Petrobras, for the first time, to plan its production over the long term: a total of 4 million 556 thousand barrels a day (bpd) of oil and natural gas will be produced in Brazil and abroad in 2015. The planned investments are in keeping with the grandeur of the projects, amounting to the sum of US$ 87.1 billion by 2011. Domestic production grew by 5.0% in 2006, due to a 340 thousand bpd increase in production capacity, as a result of the P-34, FPSO-Capixaba and P-50 platforms all coming on- stream.

Petterson, PhD Prepared under MMS Contracts 1435-01-98-CT-30899 1435-01-00-CT-31066 (M98PC0001) Submitted to New Orleans November 2008 Background Information Petrobras Petrobras was founded in 1953 as a state-owned company after the government decided that all natural resources were the property of the state. Previously, all petroleum products had been imported into Brazil. At the beginning of Petrobras’ establishment, there were not many new reserves that were found. This problem compounded the national debt that already existed as a result of the absence of private oil companies investing in the country (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, 2002). Since Petrobras was the only oil company in Brazil, it incurred all the exploration risk. The two international oil crises of 1973 and 1979 severely affected Brazil’s economy- mainly due to an increase in import costs. Petrobras was ordered to find more oil. An extensive exploration program began in the late 70’s and early 80’s that included moving exploration activity into deepwater areas. The discoveries made particularly in the Campos Basin produced lucrative oil fields. In 1988, Article 177 of Brazil’s constitution was passed, prohibiting foreign investment in the hydrocarbon industry. This secured Petrobras’ monopoly, which in turn secured the state’s monopoly on the oil industry (ibid). In 1997, the 44 year monopoly that Petrobras had held effectively ended when Brazil opened the industry to outside private companies through a series of licensing rounds.

  • Brazil Upstream Bid Rounds – Evolve to Grow Brazil to Become a Top 5 Oil Producer by 2030?
    December 2019 Brazil upstream bid rounds – evolve to grow Brazil to become a top 5 oil producer by 2030? OXFORD ENERGY COMMENT Claudio Steuer, Senior Research Fellow, OIES Brazil transfer of rights area auction When Brazil’s Senate passed a bill in mid-October 2019 defining the distribution of proceeds from the enormous offshore region known as the ‘Transfer of Rights’ area (TOR) [Figure 1] in the prolific Brazilian pre-salt exploration and production region, it was a key milestone that set in motion the largest oil bidding round in history, according to the Brazilian authorities.1 Wood Mackenzie indicated that Brazil’s TOR auction was the largest offering of discovered oil reserves since Iraq opened up its oil fields in 2009; however, access is not inexpensive. The four fields may cost more than $50 billion – $25 billion in licensing fees and profit oil share to be given to Pre-Sal Petroleo SA (the special purpose Brazilian state company responsible for managing the government pre-salt oil share) and payments to Petrobras which could represent another $25 billion or more (according to government officials) for investments already made.2 Figure 1: Transfer of Rights Auction Area Source: ANP Note: Brazilian Government estimates signing bonuses of R$ 106,5 billion ($26.6 billion) for 4 pre-salt areas in the Santos Basin On 6 November, if all blocks had been sold, the auction winners would have been obliged to pay to the Brazilian Government a combined signing bonus of nearly R$106.5 billion ($26.6 billion3). This sum is to be shared: R$34.6 billion ($8.64 billion) to Petrobras, R$10.8 billion ($2.70 billion) to States, R$10.8 billion ($2.70 billion) to Municipalities, R$2.16 billion ($0.54 billion) to Rio de Janeiro (where the reserves are located), and R$48.14 billion ($12.02 billion) to the Federal Government.4 1 Gram Slattery, ‘How Brazil’s $26 bln oil rights auction works’, Reuters, 16 October 2019.

  • PETROBRAS-CHINA RELATIONS: TRADE, INVESTMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS and LOANS1 Pedro Henrique Batista Barbosa2
    PETROBRAS-CHINA RELATIONS: TRADE, INVESTMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND LOANS1 Pedro Henrique Batista Barbosa2 Petrobras’ expansion over the last years is linked to one foreign country: China. After the discovery of the pre-salt oil, the company’s relation with Chinese players has evolved rapidly in four directions: trade, investments, infrastructure projects, and loans. Chinese actors have become relevant crude importers, production partners, service providers, and funding options. China became Petrobras’ main export destination and the origin of the majority of its external loans, which have helped it to expand production and honor its financial commitments. From China’s perspective, Petrobras is a reliable crude supplier, besides being an increasingly relevant destination of investments and technical, operational, and financial services. In each of the four pillars, the progress of bilateral relations was based upon complementary circumstances, such as China’s skyrocketing imports and Petrobras’ burgeoning exports. However, beyond complementarity, Petrobras-China oil cooperation has significant challenges. Keywords: China; Petrobras; oil; trade; FDI; infrastructure projects; loans. AS RELAÇÕES PETROBRAS-CHINA: COMÉRCIO, INVESTIMENTOS, PROJETOS DE INFRAESTRUTURA E EMPRÉSTIMOS A expansão da Petrobras nos últimos anos está ligada a um país estrangeiro: China. Após a descoberta do petróleo do pré-sal, a relação da empresa com os atores chineses evoluiu rapidamente em quatro direções: comércio, investimentos, projetos de infraestrutura e empréstimos. Empresas e bancos chineses tornaram-se importantes importadores de petróleo, parceiros em extração, provedores de serviços e opções de financiamento. A China passou a ser o principal destino das exportações da Petrobras e a origem da maioria dos seus empréstimos externos, o que a ajudou a expandir sua produção e equilibrar seus compromissos financeiros.
