| Resumo: | The present work aims to analyze the changes in Petrobras’ business strategy, especially from 2015, and discuss its future prospects. It also seeks to analyze Petrobras’ contribution to the society and economy of Rio Grande do Norte, the decision to leave the state and related consequences. For this, the descriptive study was defined as a methodological procedure, as well as an exploratory one, through a bibliographic and documentary survey. In approaching the problem, the research is predominantly qualitative. The analyzes and reflections point out that the state-owned company has taken a turn in its strategic plans, and started to sell several assets, reduced its investments and has been disintegrating its energy production chains. In this way, it reduced its portfolio, starting to operate almost exclusively in the exploration and production of oil and gas in deep and ultra-deep waters, with a concentration in the states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The company's recent management has prioritized increasing short-term profit, at the expense of selling assets, reducing investments and increasing fuel prices. This strategy has made it possible to increase the remuneration of its shareholders. In Rio Grande do Norte, the process of exiting the state-owned company has not only been due to the reduction of oil, gas and derivatives production due to the drastic drop in investments, but mainly due to the sale of practically all the assets in the state. Thus, the impacts on the local economy can already be perceived, with oscillation in governmental and social participation resulting from the oil activity and reduction of social, environmental, scientific investments, among others. There is also a decrease in the supply of jobs and in the number of companies providing services and suppliers of goods to Petrobras. At the same time, the new operators that have been acquiring the state-owned company’s assets have not managed, so far, to maintain a similar pattern of performance. Finally, the new import parity price policy applied by Petrobras has resulted in systematic increases in fuel prices in the country. While this favors the profitability of the state-owned company, it creates a clash with society, which has been bearing inflated costs. And, as a consequence, the political agents who work in the federal government, and who hold the directive power in the choice of Petrobras managers, consider the solution to guide the company’s full privatization, putting in question the relevance of the largest Brazilian company as a society of mixed economy. |
