Read MoreHide Full Article
Petroleo Brasileiro SA or Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) plans to invest $68 billion from 2022-2026 to increase oil production in the subsea pre-salt area. The latest investment is a substantive increase from the previously announced $55 billion for the 2021-2025 period.
In the five-year period, Petrobras will spend $57 billion on exploration and production, about $10 billion more than its previous plan. Of the total, $38.2 billion will be spent on pre-salt development, up from its previously mentioned $32.5 billion. PBR intends to add 15 production platforms, which will enter into production in the next five years.
Petrobras expects to produce 2.7 million and 3.2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2022 and 2026, respectively. Oil production is expected to reach 2.1 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2022, revised downward from its previously mentioned 2.3 million b/d. The target was revised due to the pandemic-led impacts and divestments this year. For 2026, PBR expects to produce 2.6 million b/d of oil.
In the refining segment, Petrobras will invest $6.1 billion over the next five years to produce high-quality derivatives and base-oils to capitalize on the rising demand of the lubricant market. Petrobras plans to generate $15-$25 billion through asset divestments to support investment opportunities and improve the efficiency of operations. The divestments will also generate cash to clear debts.
Petrobras plans to use its innovative capabilities to generate decarbonization solutions and new business lines. Per the plan, PBR will allot $2.8 billion for the decarbonization projects, including emission reduction at its refineries. Petrobras maintains its strategy to focus on projects that generate resources and contribute to Brazilian society.
