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。
