Winston Score History

The full picture

Petrobras is Brazil's national oil and gas company. It finds, drills, and produces crude oil and natural gas, then refines that oil into fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. It also sells natural gas and petrochemicals to businesses and consumers across Brazil, making it one of the largest energy companies in Latin America.

Petrobras earns money by selling oil, refined fuels, and natural gas — both inside Brazil and on global export markets. The Brazilian government owns a majority stake, which gives the company political influence but also exposes it to government interference in pricing and dividends. Petrobras operates massive deepwater oil fields off Brazil's coast, called the pre-salt layer, which produce oil at relatively low cost and give the company a strong production advantage. The main risk is that government policy changes — such as forced fuel price controls — can quickly squeeze profits, as has happened before.
