Welcome. We are Petrobras, Brazil's largest energy company; a company with a history of achievements, records and international recognition; a company that acknowledges its social responsibilities and is concerned about preserving the environment.

Our organizational structure defines how we operate. We are divided into four business areas: Exploration and Production, Downstream, Gas & Energy and International, plus two support functions: Finance and Services, not counting the corporate functions reporting directly to the president.

We currently have 103 production platforms (76 fixed and 27 floating) – producing, in 2006, more than 2,3 million barrels of oil equivalent –, and 16 refineries, with a nominal installed capacity of 2.1 million barrels a day. We also have 31,089 kilometers of pipelines and 5,870 service stations spread throughout the Brazilian territory. Six hundred thirty eight (638) of these stations are self-owned, so wherever you go, whether in Brazil or abroad, you will find Petrobras. We are now present in 27 countries, among which Angola, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Iran, Jordan, Libya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Senegal, Tanzania, Turkey, United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela, in addition to back-up support provided by our offices in Beijing, Chile, Singapore, Houston, London, New York, and Tokyo,.
