Oil exports by Brazilian energy giant Petrobras fell by 28.5% in the second quarter of 2022, to 531,000 barrels per day (b/d), compared to the same period a year ago, the company said in its quarterly production and sales report. The news comes when the country is looking for cheaper opportunities to import diesel fuel from countries currently free of sanctions.
Energy minister of Mines and Energy, Adolfo Sachsida said he had contacted the Foreign Affairs ministry asking about countries which are not exposed to international sanctions so that Brazil can buy the much needed fuel
“We are contacting all countries not sanctioned to bring cheaper fuel,” he stressed in a conversation with journalists alongside President Jair Bolsonaro at a gas station in Brasília.
Bolsonaro said that diesel from Russia will arrive in Brazil “as soon as possible” if “everything is clear.” He added, ”my relationship with the Russian government is not good. It is exceptional.”
