Petrobras
Petrobras is delaying payment of a R$ 625,500 fine imposed by Ibama for failing to monitor fluids during a 2011 drilling in the Foz do Amazonas basin. The state-owned company contests the infraction, claiming the requirement was introduced after operations ended, while Ibama keeps the process confidential in its final allegations phase. Recently, a new leak occurred in a nearby block, but no penalty has been issued yet.

Petrobras President Magda Chambriard stated that Braskem's corporate restructuring is well underway, with a new shareholders' agreement possible this year. The negotiations involve transferring control of the petrochemical firm from Novonor to IG4 manager, but adjustments with Petrobras are still needed. Braskem shares rose on Wednesday due to progress in the talks.
