Stars
Pre-salt oil in the Santos Basin is Petrobras's main growth engine, reaching 2.4 million boe/d by late 2025 and accounting for roughly 20% of global deepwater output; lifting costs sit below $6/boe, supporting strong margins. Petrobras directs about $35 billion of 2025-27 capex into pre-salt to sustain production and capture rising demand for lower-carbon-intensity crude.
Petrobras scaled R5 renewable diesel to ~1.2 billion liters in FY2025, meeting Brazil's 2025 mandate of 5% renewable diesel blend and capturing ~45% domestic bio-blend market amid 12% annual market growth.
Petrobras invested BRL 4.1 billion in dedicated biorefineries by end‑2025, keeping R5 a Star as transport decarbonization boosts demand and margins.
Equatorial Margin Exploration Projects are Petrobras's 2025 growth stars: Petrobras holds ~60% of regional exploration blocks and is funding $3.2bn in 2025 drilling and licensing, aiming to offset ~120 kbpd decline from aging fields by 2030.
Offshore Wind Pilot Projects
Offshore Wind Pilot Projects: By end-2025 Petrobras has 20+ GW in the licensing pipeline for Brazilian offshore wind, anchoring its energy-transition plan and targeting long-term low-carbon revenue streams.
High upfront CAPEX (estimated BRL 60-80 billion for early phases) meets Petrobras's offshore engineering lead, improving odds of early market share and faster project delivery.
- 20+ GW licensed pipeline by 2025
- Sector vital for Petrobras's transition
- Estimated initial CAPEX BRL 60-80 billion
- Competitive edge: offshore engineering expertise
Natural Gas Integrated Infrastructure
Petrobras's completion of Route 3 and Gaslub Cluster expansion makes it the dominant provider in Brazil's gas-to-power shift, supplying ~60% of domestic pipeline capacity and enabling ~4.5 GW of new thermal generation projects planned to 2026.
As coal exits, national gas demand is rising ~6% CAGR (2023-2026); Petrobras's integrated upstream-to-distribution control secures high-margin volumes and protects market share.
- Route 3 added ~1,200 km capacity;
- Gaslub Cluster expansion: +25% processing capacity (2025);
- ~60% pipeline market share (2025);
- Supports ~4.5 GW gas-to-power build to 2026;
- Gas demand growth ~6% CAGR (2023-2026).

Cash Cows
Post-salt deepwater assets in the Campos Basin deliver stable production above 500,000 barrels/day in 2025, with infrastructure largely fully depreciated, lowering operating breakeven to roughly $15-20/barrel.
These fields need minimal capex versus Pre-salt projects, enabling Petrobras to generate an estimated free cash flow of ~$12-14 billion in 2025 to support dividends.
They are classic cash cows, funding transition investments (renewables, CCS) and providing critical liquidity without heavy new investment.
Petrobras controls Brazil's refining, processing ~1.85 million bpd across 13 refineries in 2025, sustaining near‑monopoly margins and recurring free cash flow of about $12.4 billion EBITDA from downstream in FY2025.
Petrobras dominates Brazil's LPG market with about 70% retail share in 2025, supplying LPG to ~40 million households; the market is mature with ~1-2% annual volume decline.
Low growth and low capital intensity let Petrobras extract substantial cash-LPG reported BRL 9.2 billion EBITDA in 2025-used to service net debt of BRL 240 billion.
Thermal Power Generation Plants
Petrobras' thermoelectric fleet supplied firm baseload and peak capacity to the Brazilian SIN, totaling ~4.2 GW installed in 2025 and generating R$3.1bn in capacity payments in FY2025, shielding cash flow from oil-price swings.
Fixed regulated capacity payments (95% of power revenue) under ANEEL tariffs made 2025 EBITDA margin for power ~36%, keeping the segment a steady cash cow during upstream volatility.
- Installed capacity ~4.2 GW (2025)
- Capacity payments R$3.1bn (FY2025)
- Power EBITDA margin ~36% (2025)
- ~95% revenue from fixed capacity payments
Petrochemical Feedstock Supply (Naphtha)
Petrobras supplies ~70% of Brazil's naphtha via 2025 refining runs, selling ~8.5 Mt naphtha-equivalent in 2025 and earning ~BRL 7.2 billion EBITDA from refining feedstocks-steady margins ~12-14% and minimal promo spend. This mature feedstock role, anchored by long-term offtake with Braskem, converts refinery throughput into reliable cash flow.
- ~70% national market share
- 8.5 Mt naphtha-equivalent sold (2025)
- BRL 7.2 bn refining/feedstock EBITDA (2025)
- 12-14% margin; low marketing spend
Petrobras' cash cows-post‑salt Campos assets, downstream refining, LPG and thermoelectric capacity-generated ~BRL 31-33bn EBITDA and ~$12-14bn free cash flow in FY2025, funding dividends and capex while servicing BRL 240bn net debt.
