Brazil's Petrobras expects stable fuel imports in Q2 on biofuel use Brazilian state-led oil company Petrobras expects second-quarter fuel imports to stabilize at first-quarter levels due to greater use of biofuels.... In Q1, imports of oil products fell 19% on the year to 345,000 b/d, Petrobras said.... Imports are lower because of sluggish economic activity in Latin America's largest economy and increased use of biofuels "The trend for gasoline imports is expected to continue to fall because of the increased consumption of ethanol, but it will also depend on consumers' appetite for buying ethanol," The increase in biodiesel mandate is also reducing the need for diesel imports to power Brazil's massive agriculture sector... Reduced imports should have a positive affect on Petrobras' balance sheet. Petrobras' refining division lost more than $20 billion in 2011-2014 because it subsidized fuel imports for the government, which is the company's controlling shareholder.
RNEST OUTPUT STILL LIMITED ! The new Refinaria do Nordeste, or RNEST, is also still running at reduced capacity as the company awaits bids to install anti-air-pollution equipment at the new processing unit... Petrobras needs to complete installation of the so-called SNOX unit, which removes sulfur, nitrogen and other oxides. RNEST's first processing train has installed capacity to produce 115,000 b/d of refined products. A decision on completion of the second 115,000 b/d processing train, which would bring RNEST's capacity to 230,000 b/d, will be announced when Petrobras completes work on its 2015-2019 investment plan in thefirst half of June, Ramos said. Rnest is a key cog in Petrobras' efforts to reduce imports, especially of diesel and gasoline. About 70% of RNEST's 230,000 b/d capacity will be diesel. Petrobras had estimated that imports would drop by 100,000 b/d when the refinery reached full capacity.

Jeden Liter Öl den die weniger importieren müßen, bedeutet mehr Geld für Petrobas. Und wenn die beiden Anlagen mal mit voller Leistung produzieren, wird sich das sehr stark auf den Gewinn auswirken. Könnte passieren daß PBR für 2015 sogar eine Divi zahlt.
Ich mußte lachen daß gleich nach der positiven Meldung am Freitag Abend nach Börsenschluß http://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/...al/11784578.html , Goldman dann am Montag Petrobas downgeraded hat : http://blogs.barrons.com/emergingmarketsdaily/...e-risk-goldman-says/ Die Aktie könnte 50 % an Wert verlieren. Na, hat da jemand den Einstieg verpasst ? Für mich nur ein weiterer Grund die Aktie zu halten ! (Wie immer keine Kauf / Verkauf Empfehlung !)
