巴国油预计年底前将出售部分炼油厂

据道琼斯圣保罗5月20日消息，巴西国家石油公司(Petrobras)首席执行官罗伯托.卡斯泰罗.布兰科(Roberto Castello Branco)周二表示，该公司计划出售8家炼油厂，作为资产剥离计划的一部分，预计将在今年年底前完成部分炼油厂出售协议。

布兰科在Banco Safra SA组织的一次在线采访中表示，没有一家考虑竞购这些炼油厂的公司显示出失去兴趣的迹象。布兰科称，一些潜在竞标者要求巴国油将投标截止日期推迟到6月份。

巴国油去年宣布，计划出售其在巴西的8家炼油厂，其中4家的出售过程更为靠前。该公司正在实施一项计划，出售较老的、生产率较低的油田和其他资产，以削减债务，并将投资集中在巴西里约热内卢和圣保罗海岸附近的新油田。

Petrobras Expects to Sell Some Refineries by Year-End

Petreleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, expects to close agreements by the end of this year for some of the eight refineries it is selling as part of its program of asset divestment, Chief Executive Officer Roberto Castello Branco said Tuesday.

None of the companies considering bidding on the refineries has shown signs of losing interest, Mr. Castello Branco said during an online interview organized by Banco Safra SA. Some of the potential bidders have asked Petrobras to delay the deadline for submitting bids until June, Mr. Castello Branco said.

Petrobras announced last year that it plans to sell eight of its refineries in Brazil, and the process of selling four of those is more advanced. The company is carrying out a program to sell older, less productive oil fields and other assets to cut debt and focus its investment on its rich new fields off the coast of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo states.
