Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras approved its 2026-2030 Business Plan, projecting total investments of US$ 109 billion, with US$ 91 billion in its Implementation Portfolio and US$ 18 billion under evaluation. The company aims to keep oil and gas as its core business while expanding into low-carbon areas such as petrochemicals, fertilizers and biofuels, targeting operational emissions neutrality by 2050.

The plan allocates US$ 69.2 billion to Exploration and Production, with 62% in the Pre-Salt, and targets a peak oil output of 2.7 million bpd and peak total production of 3.4 million boed in 2028-2029. Petrobras expects an average Total Cost of Produced Oil of US$ 30.4/boe from 2026 to 2030 and projects around US$ 12 billion in operating cost savings through efficiency measures.

Refining, logistics, petrochemicals and fertilizers receive US$ 15.8 billion, while gas and low-carbon energies receive US$ 4 billion, with US$ 13 billion dedicated to energy transition initiatives. Finance assumptions include a gross debt limit of US$ 75 billion, converging to US$ 65 billion, a minimum cash balance of US$ 6 billion, and estimated ordinary dividends between US$ 45–50 billion over 2026-2030.

Positive

  • Large, cost-efficient growth plan: US$ 109B in 2026-2030 investments, with US$ 69.2B in E&P, supports higher peak output of 2.7M bpd oil and 3.4M boed total production.
  • Stronger cash generation and dividends: Free cash flow projections under the Total Portfolio support estimated ordinary dividends of US$ 45–50B over 2026-2030 while targeting a net-debt-neutral Brent breakeven falling to US$ 48/bbl by 2030.
  • Meaningful energy transition commitment: US$ 13B allocated to low-carbon and decarbonization initiatives (12% of total investments) alongside US$ 12B planned operating cost savings enhances long-term competitiveness.

Negative

  • High investment and debt framework: The plan couples US$ 109B in Capex with a gross debt limit of US$ 75B (targeting US$ 65B), increasing exposure to execution and commodity-cycle risk.
  • Significant legacy and decommissioning costs: Asset end-of-life and decommissioning activities require US$ 9.7B over five years, tying up capital in non-growth uses.
  • Reliance on oil market assumptions: Production, cash flow and dividend projections depend on Brent price and crack spread planning assumptions remaining supportive.

Insights

Petrobras sets a US$ 109B plan balancing growth, decarbonization and sizable dividends.

Petrobras outlines a large, multi-year investment cycle with total Capex of US$ 109 billion for 2026-2030, anchored by US$ 69.2 billion in Exploration and Production and US$ 15.8 billion in refining, logistics, petrochemicals and fertilizers. The production outlook rises to a peak of 2.7 million bpd of oil and 3.4 million boed in 2028-2029, supported by new FPSOs in the Búzios field and other systems. An average Total Cost of Produced Oil of US$ 30.4/boe, with lifting costs below US$ 6/barrel, underpins the economic side of its “dual resilience” strategy.

The plan embeds substantial efficiency and transition elements. Petrobras targets US$ 12 billion in manageable operating expense savings between 2025 and 2030 and dedicates US$ 13 billion to energy transition projects, equal to 12% of total investments and 8% of implementation investments. These funds support low-carbon fuels, biorefining, CCUS, and efficiency upgrades such as the RefTop program, while decommissioning and asset end-of-life activities require US$ 9.7 billion over five years.

From a balance sheet and income perspective, the plan assumes a gross debt ceiling of US$ 75 billion, converging toward US$ 65 billion, and a minimum cash balance of US$ 6 billion. Under the Total Portfolio view, projected free cash flow supports estimated ordinary dividends of US$ 45–50 billion during 2026-2030, while a Brent breakeven for net debt neutrality moving from US$ 59 per barrel in 2026 to US$ 48 in 2030 indicates improving resilience to price cycles. Actual outcomes will depend on realized oil prices, project execution and regulatory conditions for low-carbon and power initiatives.

Petrobras approves Business Plan 2026-2030

 

Rio de Janeiro, November 27, 2025 – Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras announces that its Board of Directors approved, during a meeting held today, the Business Plan 2026-2030 (BP 2026-30).

 

In BP 2026-30, Petrobras maintains the strategies defined in the Strategic Plan 2050 (SP 2050) and reaffirms its vision of being the best diversified and integrated energy company in value generation, building a more sustainable world, reconciling its focus on oil and gas with diversification into low-carbon businesses (including petrochemicals, fertilizers and biofuels), sustainability, safety, respect for the environment, and total attention to people.

 

Given the scenario of lower oil prices, the BP 2026-30 reinforces the commitment to growth with value generation and the company's financial sustainability through capital discipline, operational efficiency, optimization of operating expenses, and budget limits for investments, in addition to the adoption of more restrictive criteria in the governance for projects approvals.

 

Over the horizon of BP 2026-30, Petrobras forecasts total investments (Capex) of US$ 109 billion, of which US$ 91 billion will be in projects in the Implementation Portfolio and US$ 18 billion in the Under Evaluation Portfolio, composed of opportunities with a lower degree of maturity.

 

To ensure financial resilience and flexibility to respond to market conditions, the Plan introduces a new mechanism for the Implementation Portfolio, with two classifications:

 

 

·“Implementation Base Portfolio”: US$ 81 billion, which includes projects whose budget was approved in the Plan, even if not yet sanctioned[1].

 

·“Implementation Target Portfolio”: US$ 91 billion, which, in addition to the projects in the Implementation Base Portfolio (US$ 81 billion), includes projects (US$ 10 billion) whose budget confirmation is subject to a financing analysis. Quarterly assessments, based on projections for cash flows and capital structure, will determine the progress of these projects, as well as any prioritization.

 

 

 


[1] Sanctioned projects are investments with approved expenditures for the execution of their scope. The economic merit of unsanctioned projects will still be evaluated according to the governance for projects evaluation.

In addition to greater efficiency in Capex allocation, initiatives are planned to optimize costs, with estimated savings of US$ 12 billion in manageable operating expenses between 2025 and 2030[2], representing an average annual reduction of 8.5% compared to the previous Plan. The initiatives include reducing spending on non-producing platforms, optimizing aerial and offshore logistics, optimizing well interventions and subsea inspections, taking advantage of backhaul freight, and postponing non-priority routine services and maintenance. The cost optimization actions are implemented in full alignment with total attention to people, respect for the environment, preservation of operational safety and asset reliability.

 

The focus on oil and gas remains Petrobras top priority, and the dual resilience strategy – low cost and low emissions – is fundamental to reconcile leadership in the just energy transition with energy security and the country's sustainable development.

 

The company's sustainable growth is reflected in its ambition to maintain its relevance in Brazil's energy supply, preserving Petrobras' current share of 31% of Brazil's primary energy supply until 2050, with a greater share of renewable sources. In addition, Petrobras reaffirms its ambition to neutralize its operational emissions by 2050.

 

Exploration and Production (E&P)

 

The BP 2026-30 allocates investments of US$ 69.2 billion of E&P projects in the Implementation Target Portfolio over the five-year period.

 

Of this portfolio, 62% correspond to the Pre-Salt, 24% to Post-Salt fields, 10% are allocated to Exploration, and around 4% are related to Onshore, Shallow Waters, assets abroad, technologies or decarbonization projects.

 

The company raises the level of the oil and gas production curve in the short and medium term compared to the previous Plan, through better reservoir management, new complementary wells, and the start-up of new production systems, as well as an increasing availability of natural gas compared to the current supply.

 

The projects continue to stand out for their dual resilience (economic and environmental) and high economic value, comprising a portfolio viable under scenarios of low oil prices in the long term, with the prospective breakeven Brent price of the portfolio averaging US$ 25 per barrel and carbon intensity of up to 15 kgCO2e per barrel of oil equivalent over the five-year period.

 

The company also projects an average Total Cost of Produced Oil (TCPO) — which includes lifting costs (below US$ 6/barrel), government participation, depreciation and depletion — of US$ 30.4/boe from 2026 to 2030, considering government take according to the average Brent price estimated as a planning assumption. This represents a reduction of approximately US$ 6/barrel compared to the TCPO estimate from the previous Plan.

 

Eight new production systems will be implemented by 2030, seven of which are already contracted. Additionally, there are ten additional projects planned post-2030. Petrobras operates all these fields, except for Raia, operated by Equinor.

 

In the Búzios Field, in the Pre-Salt, the Plan includes completing the implementation of 11 FPSOs by 2027, with the start-up of already contracted platforms P-78, P-79, P-80, P-82, and P-83. Furthermore, the implementation of a 12th production unit, P-91, is undergoing the bidding process.

To address reserve replacement challenges, the BP 2026-30 directs US$ 7.1 billion towards exploratory activities over the five-year period, and the highlights are the Southern and Southeastern Basins, Equatorial Margin, and exploratory assets in other countries such as Colombia, São Tomé and Príncipe, and South Africa.

 

At the same time, Petrobras maintains projects aimed at increasing gas availability and pays special attention to mature assets, with the objective of assessing the possibilities of extending the productive life of these assets and their production systems, and, as a last resort, initiating decommissioning activities, following best sustainability practices in the disposal of assets at the end of their life cycle. The sustainable disposal of equipment and well abandonment will require expenditures of US$ 9.7 billion over the next five years.

 

 

Refining, Transportation, and Marketing + Petrochemicals and Fertilizers (RTM)

 

The BP 2026-30 allocates US$ 15.8 billion in investments in the Implementation Target Portfolio for Refining, Transportation, Marketing, Petrochemicals and Fertilizers (RTM).

 

In Refining, resources focus on the expansion and adequacy of the refining system, aiming at the production of high-quality and low-carbon fuels. With these projects, the company plans to expand its installed processing capacity from 1.8 million bpd to 2.1 million bpd by 2030, an increase of 320,000 bpd, including projects under evaluation. This expansion will be supported by projects in the existing plants, without the need for the construction of new refineries.

 

Additionally, by the end of the BP 2026-30 five-year period, the production profile will also be improved, with a greater share of high-value-added products. Diesel production will increase from 40% to 45% of total production, with reduced sulfur content and improved quality. Investments in Refining, particularly the completion of RNEST Train 2 and the Boaventura Refining project, are expected to result in a 307,000 bpd increase in Diesel S-10 production capacity by 2030 (including projects in the Under Evaluation Portfolio), with 134,000 bpd of additional volume and 173,000 bpd resulting from the substitution of Diesel S-500 with Diesel S-10.

 

Investments also include biorefining to produce renewable content fuels, such as the construction of a dedicated Aviation Biokerosene – BioQav (SAF) and 100% renewable Diesel (HVO) plant via the HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fat Acids) route at RPBC, and adaptations at REGAP and REPLAN for SAF production via co-processing. Other projects and studies involving the production of bioproducts at the company's refineries are also underway.

 

Petrobras will also invest US$ 1 billion in initiatives to increase operational and energy efficiency at its refineries through the RefTop Program. These initiatives will contribute to achieving the emissions intensity target of its refining operations and ensuring operational availability equal to or greater than 97% by 2030.

 

Investments in Marketing and Logistics primarily aim to expand the company's presence in growing markets, such as Brazil’s Midwest and Northern Arc; increase the fleet of ships and vessels; and optimize logistical assets to maximize operational efficiency. These initiatives will result in reduced logistical costs and carbon footprint, capturing more market share for Petrobras.

The renewal and expansion of the coastal shipping fleet for low liquidity classes and the chartering of offshore support vessels will bring new opportunities for the naval industry. The BP 2026-30 includes the construction of 20 coastal vessels and 18 barges, with a US$ 2 billion investment during the period, and the chartering of 40 new support vessels to renew the fleet supporting E&P activities.

 

In the Fertilizer segment, the main investment project is the completion of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Unit (UFN-III) in Três Lagoas (MS). For other assets, such as the Bahia and Sergipe Nitrogen Fertilizer Plants (Fafen-BA and Fafen-SE, respectively) and Araucária Nitrogenados S.A. (ANSA), investment focus is on operational continuity.

 

Additionally, Petrobras has allocated resources for study and research on petrochemical projects, reaffirming its interest in this segment, considering its potential for value generation and synergies with its current operations.

 

Gas and Low-Carbon Energies

 

Investments of US$ 4 billion are planned for the Implementation Target Portfolio of the Gas and Low-Carbon Energies (G&LCE) segment. In natural gas, projects aim to increase the supply of domestic gas through proprietary production and develop new competitive commercial products.

 

Petrobras maintains the intention of installing new thermoelectric plants in the Boaventura Energy Complex, in Itaboraí (RJ), with the implementation of these projects conditioned to success in future energy capacity reserve auctions.

 

In Low-Carbon Energies, priorities for this five-year period include ethanol, biodiesel, biomethane, diesel R, SAF and bio-bunker, in line with regulatory advancements and market trends, leveraging synergies with the company's operations.

 

Regarding ethanol, biodiesel and biomethane chains, Petrobras will preferably act in these segments through strategic minority partnerships or shared control with relevant players in the sector.

 

Additionally, Petrobras continues to seek partnerships for solar photovoltaic and onshore wind energy projects, aiming to capture commercial opportunities and expand its renewable energy self-generation capacity.

 

The company also continues to evaluate projects in Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), Low-Emission Carbon Hydrogen, and Energy Storage, along with the Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) project.

 

Energy Transition

 

Considering all low-carbon initiatives (Scopes 1, 2 and 3), investments in the energy transition total US$ 13 billion, encompassing projects in Low-Carbon Energies, bioproducts, decarbonization of operations, and Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) across all segments. This amount represents 12% of the Total Investment and 8% of the Implementation Investment.

Investments in Energy Transition

Regarding the decarbonization commitments (Scopes 1 and 2) established in the previous Plan, the commitment to CO2 reinjection in CCUS projects concludes in 2025, with the expectation of meeting the goal of 80 million tCO2 this year. The other five commitments remain with targets set for 2030, as follows:

- Reduction of total absolute operational emissions by 30% compared to 2015;

- Zero routine flaring;

- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) intensity in E&P of 15 kgCO2e/boe;

- GHG intensity in Refining of 30 kgCO2e/CWT[3];

- Methane emissions intensity in Upstream of 0,20 t CH4/thousand t hydrocarbons.

 

Regarding ambitions associated with reducing the carbon footprint, the following are maintained: (i) the pursuit of operational emissions neutrality by 2050, and (ii) “Near Zero Methane 2030”, aligned with the Aiming for Zero Methane Emissions initiative promoted by the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), of which Petrobras is a signatory. The ambition related to the emissions level was adjusted to (iii) keep annual emissions below 55 million tCO2e by 2030.

 

Financeability

 

The BP 2026-30 financeability study resulted in the consolidation of capital discipline measures focused on cost optimization, increased productivity, and operational efficiency, benefiting the company’s long-term sustainability.

 

The average Brent price, exchange rate, and crack spread assumptions adopted for planning are outlined in the table below:

 


[3] CWT - Complexity Weighted Tonne, represents a measure of activity that considers both the effect of the processed load and the complexity of each refinery, allowing for the comparison of GHG emissions potential among refineries with different profiles and sizes.
