SHARING PETROBRAS NEWS

In April, Petrobras presented its 2013-2017 BMP with an investment forecast of US$ 236.7 billion, with

US$ 207.1 billion for projects under implementation and US$ 29.6 billion for projects under evaluation.

The investments are concentrated in the Exploration and Production segment, with a value of US$ 147.5 billion, which represents an increase of US$ 15.9 billion in relation to the previous Plan. This growth refl ects the investments foreseen until 2017, observing the increase in production estimated between 2016 and 2020, reaching 4.2 million barrels of oil/day at the end of the period.

Among the resources for E&P, 73% will be allocated to production development, with US$ 72.6 billion in the pre-salt and Transfer of Rights areas. Of the remaining 16% will be invest in exploration and 11% in infrastructure.

For the Downstream area, the forecast is US$ 43.2 billion for the portfolio of projects under implementation, with the main projects being the Abreu e Lima Refi nery (RNEST) and the fi rst phase of Complexo Petroquímico do Rio de Janeiro (COMPERJ).

The Plan also includes investments in the segments of Gas and Energy (US$ 9.9 billion), Distribution (US$ 2.9 billion), Biofuels (US$ 1.1 billion), and in the International area (US$ 3.2 billion).

The 2013-2017 BMP continues with supporting programs initiated in 2012, and incorporates new initiatives totaling fi ve programs: Campos Basin Operational Effi ciency Improvement Program (Proef); Operating Expenses Optimization Program (Procop); Divestment Program (Prodesin); Logistical Infrastructure Optimization Program (Infralog); and Well Cost Reduction Program (PRC-Poço).

The resources necessary to fi nance projects under implementation will come from operating cash fl ow generation (US$ 164.7 billion), use of surplus cash (US$ 10.7 billion), divestment and fi nancial restructuring (US$ 9.9 billion) and debt (US$ 61.3 billion gross and US$ 21.4 billion net).

The company maintains its commitment to an investment grade rating and not issuing shares. The plan’s fundamentals include the integrated portfolio management through taking maximum utilization of synergies among the company’s assets, with capital discipline and management focused on fulfi lling the physical and fi nancial targets of each project.

2013 first quarter results —

Petrobras’ net income reached US$ 3.9 billion, remaining stable in relation to the fourth quarter of

2012. The operating income increased 77%, reaching US$ 4.9 billion, and was compensated by lower financial result and by higher income tax. The operational cash flow, measured by the adjusted EBITDA, reached US$ 8.1 billion, 40% higher than the previous quarter.

Investments in the period totaled US$ 9.9 billion, with 54% in Exploration and Production activities, with priority for the production development projects.

The efforts in favor of improvement in efficiency in operational activities and in the expenses with investment projects, as well as by the excellence

in costs, have brought improvement in our cash flow. The Operational Costs Optimization Program (PROCOP) generated global results above those expected for the quarter, with an economy of US$ 0.7 billion (one third of the 2013 target). Also, the Operational Efficiency Improvement Program (Proef) presented an increase of 34,000 barrels/day in the production of oil and LNG in the quarter.

The total production of oil and gas reached 2.5 million barrels/day in the quarter, being 2% lower than the previous quarter. As expected, the production decreased owing to the natural decline of the fields and the greater number of maintenance stoppages, concentrated in the first half of the year. Two production systems began operation in the Santos

Basin: FPSO Cidade de São Paulo in the Sapinhoá field in the pre-salt area and FPSO Cidade de Itajaí in the Baúna field in the post-salt region.

In the Downstream segment, there was an increase of 185,000 barrels/day in the production of oil products, representing a growth of 10% in relation to the first quarter in 2012. Also, the volume of sales of oil products on the domestic market grew 7% in relation to the same period.

The net debt grew 3% in relation to December 31, 2012, mainly due to a lower cash flow than investments. The indicators were within the limits of the internal targets: the Net Debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.30 and the leverage remained stable in relation to the previous quarter (31%).

Seven new systems begin operation in 2013—

In January, the FPSO Cidade de São Paulo began production in the Sapinhoá field, in the pre-salt area in the Santos Basin. In the same basin, the FPSO Cidade de Itajaí began operation in February in the Baúna field, in

the post-salt area. The FPSO Cidade de Paraty went on stream in June initiating the Lula NE Pilot. In the second half of the year, four more platforms will enter into operation: P-63 and P-61 in the Papa-Terra project; P-55 in Roncador; and P-58 in Parque das Baleias (Whales Park). These seven units will have a total capacity of 820,000 barrels per day of oil.

Record production in the pre-salt

T he production of oil in the pre-salt reached 322 thousand barrels per day (bpd) in May 18th, 2013,

of which 83% correspond to Petrobras portion and the rest to the partners portion. The record was reached only seven years after the discovery (the US part of the Gulf of Mexico took 17 years to reach this level). The good results come from important technological advances, through the drilling of additional wells, of new seismic data, and of the carrying out of extended well tests and pilot systems. The well productivity has been

above initial forecasts and there was a reduction in the drilling time, lowering costs.

The record was reached with eight platforms and 19 wells producing in the pre-salt area, in the Campos and Santos basins. It is important to highlight that the accumulated production in the pre-salt already surpasses 200 million barrels of oil equivalent. The forecast is to reach the mark of 1 million bpd operated by Petrobras in 2017, with 16 new production units, and to reach 2.1 million bpd in 2020.

Mais descobertasde óleo de boa qualidade

As áreas da Cessão Onerosa continuam apresentando des-

cobertas de petróleo de boa qua-lidade. Este ano já foi anunciada descoberta no Sul de Tupi, Florim e Entorno de Iara, variando a qua-lidade do óleo entre 26º e 29º API. Fora da cessão onerosa, a desco-berta em Sagitário no pré-sal da Bacia de Santos também constatou ocorrência de óleo de boa qualidade (31º API).

Oil products on the rise

Petrobras’ efforts to maximize the production of oil products in Brazil

has resulted in successive records in oil processing in the refineries. The latest record was on May 26, with 2.170 million barrels of oil processed. The use of the nominal capacity of the refineries also beat a record, reaching 98% in the first quarter of the year.

NEWS PANEL

Sustainability Report: a new edition launchedThe 2012 Sustainability Report, which has information about Petrobras’ performance, is available at the site www.petrobras.com.br/rs2012. Produced yearly, the report aims at providing the company’s stakeholders with datas about its activities related to sustainable development. The English version will be available soon.

The publication follows the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the main world reference in the area. Some highlights were the investments in environmental protection, which totaled R$ 2.9 billion (an increase of 7% in relation to 2011), and the R$ 2.2 billion invested in Research and Development.

Petrobras at the 2013 OTCIn May, Petrobras was present in Houston (USA) at the Off shore Technology Conference (OTC), the largest event in the world in the area of exploration and production of oil off shore. The company highlighted the mark of 311,000 barrels/day produced in the Brazilian pre-salt region in April.

The Cascade and Chinook projects in the US part of the Gulf of Mexico, whose production began in 2012, were also presented at the conference. The highlight was the operation of the fi rst FPSO (fl oating production platform-ship, with capacity to store and offl oad) in that region –the FPSO BW Pioneer, which is also the production unit in the greatest depth of water (2,500 meters) and which is interconnected with the deepest gas pipeline in the world. The operation in the Gulf reinforces Petrobras’ position as one of the major players in ultra-deep water.

Diesel S-10 is already at the service stationsIn January, Petrobras launched in all of Brazil Diesel S-10 with ultra-low sulfur content, within the process of the quality improvement of its fuels, and which substituted Diesel S-50. The environmental benefi ts of the new diesel are greater in vehicles produced as of 2012 which use motors with technology to reduce vehicular emissions. Other advantages are the better cold start, decreased white smoke, and increased life of the lubricant oil.

Water economized was more than 23 billion litersPetrobras has invested in actions in favor of the rational and effi cient use of water, especially reuse projects. In 2012, the volume of reused water surpassed 23 billion liters, an amount suffi cient to supply 11% of the company’s activities and supply a city with a population of about 550,000 for one year. This total is almost 7% higher than the total in the previous year. The conclusion of new projects of this type in refi neries will make possible an economy of more than 35 billion liters per year in 2015.
