The latest update is out from Petroleo Brasileiro SA- Petrobras ( (PBR) ).

On December 18, 2025, Petrobras announced it had signed a series of new long‑term related‑party commercial contracts with petrochemical producer Braskem to replace expiring agreements and secure future supply arrangements. The deals include five‑year naphtha supply contracts for Braskem’s plants in São Paulo, Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul, worth an estimated US$11.3 billion and allowing deliveries of up to 4.116 million tons in 2026 and 4.316 million tons in 2030 starting January 1, 2026; an 11‑year, US$5.6 billion contract for ethane, propane and hydrogen to Braskem’s operations in Rio de Janeiro, maintaining current volumes through 2028 and increasing from 2029 to support a planned expansion; and five‑year propylene supply contracts from the Reduc, Recap and Refap refineries totaling an estimated US$940 million from May 18, 2026. Classified as related‑party transactions, the contracts were reviewed by Petrobras’ Statutory Audit Committee and are positioned as market‑based, commutative agreements, underscoring Petrobras’ strategy to lock in substantial, benchmark‑linked revenue streams while reinforcing its role as a critical feedstock supplier to Brazil’s petrochemical chain and providing Braskem with long‑term volume and pricing visibility.
