據道瓊斯圣保羅5月20日消息，巴西國家石油公司(Petrobras)首席執行官羅伯托.卡斯泰羅.布蘭科(Roberto Castello Branco)周二表示，該公司計劃出售8家煉油廠，作為資產剝離計劃的一部分，預計將在今年年底前完成部分煉油廠出售協議。

布蘭科在Banco Safra SA組織的一次在線采訪中表示，沒有一家考慮競購這些煉油廠的公司顯示出失去興趣的跡象。布蘭科稱，一些潛在競標者要求巴國油將投標截止日期推遲到6月份。

巴國油去年宣布，計劃出售其在巴西的8家煉油廠，其中4家的出售過程更為靠前。該公司正在實施一項計劃，出售較老的、生產率較低的油田和其他資產，以削減債務，并將投資集中在巴西里約熱內盧和圣保羅海岸附近的新油田。

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.
