(Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc has taken into account the risks presented by the Petrobras graft scandal to its expanding operations in Brazil and is confident the Brazilian state-run oil company will emerge stronger, Shell’s CEO said on Thursday.
Chief Executive Ben van Beurden said oil production from Brazil’s offshore subsalt region will remain profitable, and predicted that oil prices will rise from the low levels of the past six months.
Van Beurden briefed Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff for 1-1/2 hours on Thursday on his company’s operations in Brazil, where Shell has become the second-largest oil producer following its April 8 purchase of rival BG Group.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
