We operate in the San Alberto, San Antonio, and XX Tarija Oeste (Itaú) areas, located in the department of Tarija, which have producer wells, water injection wells, collection lines, and gas collection and processing lines.

We also operate the Camos Colpa Caranda Area, with 100 percent stakes, since the Plurinational Legislative Assembly sanctioned the act that approves the operation contract cession, on behalf of the Company, and which was protocolled on October 31, 2017.

We concluded, in January 2017, the sale of 100 percent of Petrobras Chile Distribuición Ltda (PCD) to the Southern Cross Group. The transaction included the licensing of the Petrobras and Lubrax brands.

A privately held company, the Southern Cross Group has $2.9 billion in assets under management and focuses on investments in Latin America in companies operating in the industrial, service, logistics, and consumer products industries.

To operate the assets acquired from Petrobras in Chile, Southern Cross created Esmax, a company that acts as a Petrobras licensee in the fuel and lubricant distribution segments.

The sale, carried out through a competitive process, is an integral part of the company’s partnership and divestment plan and is in line with our Strategic Plan, which provides for the optimization of our business portfolio.

Our internationalization process began in Colombia, in 1972. Currently, we have operations in the exploration segment and in fuels and lubricant trade and distribution in several regions of the country.

Exploration in Colombia

We operate through our offshore assets, a segment in which our expertise is recognized around the world, and hold stakes in an onshore block in the Tolima region with potential for conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons.

We are currently the operators of the Tayrona Block, where, together with our strategic partners Ecopetrol, Repsol and Statoil, we recently confirmed the existence of a gas accumulation in the Orca-1 Well. This was the first discovery made in deep waters in the Colombian Caribbean.

Petrobras Fuel and Lubricants Stations

We offer fuel and lubricant distribution services through a network of 116 stations services. Our lubricant line is prepared pursuant to the highest international oil industry standards to meet the needs and demands of individual and corporate consumers.

We concluded, in March 2019, the sale of 100 percent of Petrobras Paraguay Distribución Limited (PPDL UK), Petrobras Paraguay Operaciones y Logística SRL (PPOL) and Petrobras Paraguay Gas SRL (PPG) to the Grupo Copetrol, through its subsidiary Paraguay Energy.

The divested companies operate in Paraguay on the fuel distribution and trade, LPG, and lubricant markets, as well as with other special products, through a network of 201 service stations and with an own storage terminal and operations at three airports.

The agreement also provides for the licensing for the exclusive use of the Petrobras brand by Nextar (the successor of Petrobras Paraguay Operaciones y Logística SRL) at that country’s service stations, for the initial term of five years.

This project helps improve the company’s capital allocation, thereby increasing the generation of value.

The operations, which began in the natural gas industry in the country, today include lubricant and fuel distribution and trade.

We have had operations in Uruguay since 2004, when we partnered with the National Administration of Fuels, Alcohol, and Portland (Ancap) to distribute natural gas within the country.

Today, we are responsible for distributing natural gas to the capital city and to the interior of the country as well as for service stations throughout Uruguay, with the supply of our products.

History

In 2004, we took over the control of the Uruguayan Conecta gas distributor by acquiring 55 percent of the equity stakes in it, which had previously belonged to two companies of a Spanish group. The distributor our company operates holds exclusive rights to distribute, over pipelines, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and gas manufactured in the interior of Uruguay, outside of the capital city, Montevideo.

In 2006, our operations in Uruguay were enhanced in the natural gas sector, when we completed the acquisition of 66 percent of the equity stakes of Gaseba Uruguay S.A., currently MontevideoGas. The company is a natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and gas pipeline distribution utility and uses pipelines to supply these products in the Uruguayan capital city.

On March 31, 2011, Petrobras Uruguay acquired the remaining 34 percent of the stakes in Distribuidora de Gas S.A. Montevideo (MontevideoGas) from Pan American Energy Iberica S.L., going on to hold 100 percent of its shares. This concession, valid through 2024, covers the city of Montevideo.

Additionally, in 2006, the company enhanced its presence in Uruguay by incorporating fuel distribution and trade operations, which today include fuel stations nationwide, as well as facilities to trade jet fuel, maritime products, lubricants, and fertilizers.

We have explored and produced in the U.S. since 1987, when we acquired stakes in eight blocks in the American sector of the Gulf of Mexico. We signed-on partnerships with a few of the world's biggest oil companies, and, in the past few years, we have increased our stakes in oil exploration and production in American waters.

We began our activities in Mexico in 2003 as operators in natural gas exploration and production service contracts in the Cuervito and Fronterizo blocks (onshore), located in the Burgos Basin, north of Mexico.

Headquartered in Rotterdam, one of the world's largest financial centers, and with a long-standing tradition of investments in the oil and gas industry, our holdings in the Netherlands control several activities outside of Brazil.

The presence in Rotterdam is strategic, since the city brings together offices of banks and other financial institutions and is a center of international relations. Rotterdam is home to the largest port in Europe, and is close to consulates and embassies, as well as business fomenting agencies and several international institutions.

The following are our official contact channels in the Netherlands. We are not liable for contacts made through channels other than those listed below.

Headquartered in London, Petrobras Europe Ltd - PEL was established in May 2001 to support our trade and financial activities. It consists of a complete and active Petrobras trading desk for the European and African markets, and it is in charge of market intelligence and support in the marketing of oil, light products, dark products, natural gas, oil products, shipping, and vessel operation. 

In 2005, we started a partnership when we created BJE (Brazil-Japan Ethanol), a joint venture between Petrobras and Nippon Alcohol Hambai.

Our work in Japan is aligned with the best environmental responsibility practices, showing commitment to the people of Okinawa, respect for the Nansei workforce, and compliance with local regulations.

Petrobras’ office in Singapore supports oil and oil product trade activities for China, India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
