  • the signing and start of the co-participation agreement for the Búzios field, which regulates the coexistence of the Transfer of Rights Agreement and the Production Sharing Agreement of the Transfer of Rights Surplus for the field;
  • the conclusion of the sale of the totality of its stake in the offshore fields of Frade, in Campos Basin, and Lapa, in the Santos Basin pre-salt, the onshore clusters of Rio Ventura, Miranga and Remanso, in Bahia, and Cricaré, in Espírito Santo, and the onshore fields of Dó-Ré-Mi and Rabo Branco, in Sergipe;

variation of 4% up or down. Oil production and commercial production had an impact of about 60 Mboed, but remained with the same ranges, respectively, 2.1 MMbpd and 2.3 MMboed, with a variation of 4% up or down. For the period between 2023 and 2026, the average estimated impact for production is a reduction of 0.1 MMboed.

For Atapu, Petrobras will receive compensation before the gross up, in the amount of US$ 1.5 billion, by April 15, 2022. In the case of Sépia, the amount is US$ 2.2 billion, and the date of receipt is still under negotiation with the sharing consortium. The portion of the bonus due by Petrobras for the two fields, in the amount of R$ 4.2 billion, should be paid in 1Q22.

Regarding the investments for 2022, the announced forecast of US$ 11 billion is maintained. Throughout this year, the Development Plans for the production of the surplus volumes in Atapu and Sépia will be discussed with partners and PPSA, which should include the implementation of a new production system in each field. These adjustments will be reflected and disclosed in the Strategic Plan 2023-27.
