Memorandum of Understanding regulatory

"Petrobras informs that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Petróleos Mexicanos"

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a formal agreement between two or more parties that outlines their shared intentions and plans to work together. It acts like a handshake in writing, clarifying each side’s roles and expectations before any official contract is signed. For investors, an MOU signals that parties are serious about collaboration, which can influence future business opportunities and potential growth.

Exploration and Production (E&P) financial

"including the development of opportunities in the Exploration and Production (E&P) and Industrial Processes areas"

deepwater and ultra deepwater technical

"exploratory and development opportunities in deepwater and ultra deepwater areas, including assets located in the Gulf of Mexico"

carbon capture technical

"energy efficiency, emissions reduction, carbon capture and the production of lower-carbon-intensity fuels"

Carbon capture is the process of removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial emissions or the air and then storing it safely underground or turning it into useful products, like locking smoke from a factory into a sealed container or recycling it into new material. Investors care because the technology can cut a company’s reported emissions, create new revenue streams or credits, and reduce regulatory or climate-related risk, all of which affect future costs and valuations.

lower-carbon-intensity fuels technical

"carbon capture and the production of lower-carbon-intensity fuels, in addition to the sharing of best practices"
