Petrobras set to reduce 2025 capex
Petrobras is expected to reduce 2025 capex from USD21bn to around USD17bn, according to a Reuters article today. Petrobras has a 5-year capex plan, but there are usually changes to its plans, and “current year” / “near-term” spending has a track-record of being revised lower (2024 capex was recently cut c24% to USD13.5bn–14.5bn), as Petrobras has struggled with value-chain delays. The updated spending represents YOY growth in 2025 of c21% (versus c50% earlier). The article mentions equipment price inflation, financing limitations and challenges in obtaining exploration permits as some of the reasons for the capex reduction. We believe these are partly related to investments being pushed out in time rather than projects being abandoned. While this article did not provide details on whether the overall 5-year spending plan would be reduced, a report from last week indicated that its new 5-year plan could see capex c8% higher than last year’s plan. Hence, we see this mostly as a shift of spending to the right. Among companies under our coverage with Petrobras exposure (mostly asset-heavy), assets are already contracted for 2025–2026, and we see no impact from the capex reduction. Still, from a capital markets perspective, headlines with near-term capex reductions are usually not supportive for investor sentiment and share prices. For asset-light companies, there might be lower volumes than expected for 2025.Aker Solutions is a provider of products, systems and services to the oil and gas industry.
