À propos de Petrobras

Petrobras possède plus de 100 plates-formes de production, 16 raffineries, 30 000 kilomètres de pipelines et plus de 6 000 stations-service. Nos réserves prouvées sont d'environ 14 milliards de barils de pétrole, un chiffre qui devrait doubler dans les prochaines années. Avec la découverte de pétrole et de gaz dans la région pré-salifère, le Brésil pourrait devenir le quatrième plus grand producteur de pétrole au monde en 2030.

Depuis 1953, année de la création de la société, nous avons réussi à surmonter les défis. Le principal était le développement de technologies pour explorer et produire du pétrole dans les eaux profondes et ultra-profondes, où se trouvent plus de 90 % de nos réserves. Avec innovation et audace, nous sommes aujourd'hui l'entreprise brésilienne qui dépose le plus de brevets au Brésil et à l'étranger.
