Pré-Sal Petróleo was established with the aim of managing the production-sharing contracts as a representative of the Union, thus ensuring efficient recovery of petroleum resources and the greatest possible surplus to be shared between the Union and contractors.

Strategically, the company must:

• • Seek economic maximization of the Union’s oil and natural gas production and trading contracts
  • Ensure that the pre-salt enterprises add value in the long term, generating jobs and income for the country
  • Represent the Union in the procedures for the production unitization and in the agreements resulting therefrom.

Pré-Sal Petróleo’s performance is based on corporate drivers focused on three premises:

•  Corporate strategy, in order to guide its activities in the long term
•  Corporate governance, with the aim of improving company performance
•  Contract management, aiming at generating results for the company according to its objectives and attributions.
