President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva participated, Thursday afternoon (11/19), in the ceremony that marked the beginning of the infrastructure construction work for the revamp of the Potiguar Clara Camarão Refinery (RPCC) and the deployment of the gasoline production unit at the Guamaré Pole, in Rio Grande do Norte. The Term of Commitment to begin the work was signed by Petrobras’ CEO, José Sergio Gabrielli de Azevedo, by the Company’s Downstream director, Paulo Roberto Costa, and by the governor of the state, Wilma de Faria.
During the ceremony, president Lula said the pre-salt was not discovered by chance. "Had we not invested in research and development, we would not have discovered the pre-salt. Without investments, we would not have developed biodiesel," exemplified the president to an audience of more than 300 refinery employees. "In the past, they said we could not build vessels, drilling rigs and equipment in Brazil. We now see that was not true. Petrobras (Bovespa: PETR3/PETR4, NYSE: PBR / PBRA, Latibex: XPBR / XPBRA, BCBA: APBR / APBRA) is placing its orders here," stated Lula.
