About Petrobras
Petrobras was incorporated in October 1953 to operate in the Brazilian oil sector. The company has a leader in byproduct distribution in Brazil for more than 40 years, and one of the twenty major oil corporations in international ranking.
It has the most advanced technology for oil production in deepwater, and in 1992 and 2001 received an award from the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). In 1997, Brazil was admitted to the select group of 16 countries producing more than one million barrels of oil a day. And that same year Law no. 9478 was decreed to open up the oil industry to private enterprise.
The outcome of the law was the creation of the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), in charge of regulating, contracting and supervising the sector's operations; and the National Council for Energy Policy, an agency to draft a public energy policy. Petrobras, in tune with the changing scenario, is ready for free competition, increasing new business prospects, and having further business autonomy.
The explanation for the success of Petrobras lies in the efficiency of its units all over Brazil: Refineries, exploration & production, pipelines, terminals, regional management and its large tanker fleet.
