KUALA LUMPUR 17 March 2026 (The Capital Post)- Brazil’s state-controlled oil giant Petrobras has agreed to acquire stakes held by Petronas in two offshore oil fields for a total of US$450 million.
The transaction forms part of Petrobras’ strategy to strengthen its upstream portfolio and expand its presence in key offshore energy assets.
Petronas, Malaysia’s national oil company, said the divestment aligns with its ongoing portfolio optimisation efforts as it seeks to streamline operations and focus on strategic investments.
The deal is expected to support Petrobras’ long-term production growth while enabling Petronas to reallocate capital to other priority areas within its global operations.

The acquisition remains subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions before it can be finalised.-The Capital Post
