To President from Magda Chambriard, said on Wednesday (16), that the company does not only evaluate the quotation of the dollar and Brent to decide on a possible adjustment in the price of fuel, but also analyzes the product and impact of the market share. Magda repeated that she does not want to bring to the domestic market “a confusion that is not ours,” referring to the trade war between the United States and China that is impacting the price of oil in the international market. On Tuesday (15), to Broadcast, Magda said it was time to look again at the price behavior, as the last adjustment of diesel was on April 1st. “Fuel prices are part of everyday life, we looked every 15 days. Neither the private counselors nor the government complain about it,” Magda said after an event at COPPE/UFRJ, where she signed a cooperation term for the construction loop.

The president of Petrobras said she considers herself “optimistic” regarding the granting of environmental license by Ibama to explore the Brazilian equatorial margin. Without wanting to indicate a deadline for the document, which has been awaited for years, the executive merely said that the state company “delivered everything Ibama drew.” “We need Ibama to do the inspection and schedule the pre-operational test,” he said. When asked if he would be looking at the four sectors in the Foz do Amazonas basin that will be auctioned by the government on June 17, one of the five basins of the Brazilian equatorial margin, Magda merely said “that he is looking at all the areas offered”, and could not speak specifically about one of them.
