Brazilian government will build Abreu Lima refinery alone

According to a report from Reuters on January 7 in Brasilia, the Brazilian government’s Minister of Mines and Energy, Edison Robo, said here on January 7 that if Petro Venezuela’s National Oil Corporation (PDVSA) cannot achieve their commitment to this joint venture refinery project, It is possible that the Brazilian government will build the planned refinery in the northeastern part of the country alone.

The Abreu Lima refinery, which is built in Pernambuco and has the capacity to process 230,000 barrels of crude oil per day, is a joint venture between Petrobras and the Venezuelan national oil company.
