(iii) Results of operations for oil and gas producing activities

The Company’s results of operations from oil and gas producing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are shown in the following table. The Company transfers substantially all of its Brazilian crude oil and gas production to the Refining, Transportation & Marketing segment in Brazil. The internal transfer prices calculated by the Company’s model may not be indicative of the price the Company would have realized had this production been sold in an unregulated spot market. Additionally, the prices calculated by the Company’s model may not be indicative of the future prices to be realized by the Company. Gas prices used are those set out in contracts with third parties.

Production costs are lifting costs incurred to operate and maintain productive wells and related equipment and facilities, including operating employees’ compensation, materials, supplies, fuel consumed in operations and operating costs related to natural gas processing plants.

Exploration expenses include the costs of geological and geophysical activities and projects without economic feasibility. Depreciation and amortization expenses relate to assets employed in exploration and development activities. In accordance with Codification Topic 932 – Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas, income taxes are based on statutory tax rates, reflecting allowable deductions. Interest income and expense are excluded from the results reported in this table.

(iv) Reserve quantities information

As presented in note 5.1, proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence within a reasonable time. Reserves estimate involves a high degree of judgment and complexity and its application affects different items of these Financial Statements.

The Company’s estimated net proved oil and gas reserves and changes thereto for the years 2018, 2017 and 2016 are shown in the following table. Proved reserves are estimated in accordance with the reserve definitions prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is done by means not involving a well.

 

In some cases, substantial new investments in additional wells and related facilities will be required to recover these proved reserves and are named proved undeveloped reserves. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of reserves are subject to changes as additional information becomes available. A summary of the annual changes in the proved reserves of oil is as follows (in millions of barrels):

In 2018, we incorporated 473.3 million boe of proved reserves by revising of previous estimates, including 233.5 million boe due to economic revisions, mainly due to the increase in prices, and 239.9 million boe due to technical revisions, mainly due to the good performance of reservoirs in the pre-salt layer of Santos and Campos basins, both in Brazil. In addition, we added 258.8 million boe in our proved reserves resulting from positive responses from improved recovery (water injection), and added 343.6 million boe in our proved reserves due to extensions and discoveries, mainly in the pre-salt of Santos basin.

We reduced 367.8 million boe of our proved reserves due to sales of reserves and increased 9.1 million boe in our proved reserves due to purchases of reserves, resulting in a net effect of a decrease of 358.7 million boe in our proved reserves.

Considering a production of 862.6 million boe in 2018 and changes above, the company total proved reserves resulted in 9,606.2 million boe. This 862.6 million boe production volume is the net volume withdrawn from our proved reserves. Therefore, exclude NGL (except for North America), as we estimate our oil and gas reserves at a reference point prior to the gas processing plants, and does not consider the production of Extended Well Tests (EWTs) in exploratory blocks and production in Bolivia, since the Bolivian Constitution prohibits the disclosure and registration of its reserves.

In 2017, we incorporated 670.1 million boe of proved reserves by revising of previous estimates, including 355.4 million boe due to economic revisions, mainly due to the increase in prices, and 314.7 million boe due to technical revisions, mainly due to better than forecasted behavior from reservoirs, in the pre-salt layer of Santos and Campos basins, both in Brazil. In addition, we added 246.7 million boe in our proved reserves resulting from positive responses from improved recovery (water injection), and added 82.5 million boe in our proved reserves due to extensions and discoveries, mainly in the pre-salt of Santos basin.

Considering a production of 919.8 million boe in 2017, the company total proved reserves resulted in 9,751.7 million boe. This 919.8 million boe production does not consider the production of Extended Well Tests (EWTs) in exploratory blocks and production in Bolivia, since the Bolivian Constitution prohibits the disclosure and registration of its reserves.

In 2016, we incorporated 103 million boe of proved reserves from extensions and discoveries in Brazil (Santos Basin), and we added 131 million boe to our proved reserves due to revisions of previous estimates, as a result of drilling of new production development wells and better reservoir response in onshore and offshore post-salt fields, in Brazil and the USA, and as result of positive answers from the reservoirs, recovery mechanisms (water injection) and operating efficiency of production systems in operation, as well as the growing drilling activities and tie-back activities, in the pre-salt layer of Santos and Campos Basins.

We reduced 169 million boe of our proved reserves due to sales of minerals in situ and increased 16 million boe in our proved reserves due to purchases of minerals in situ, resulting in a net effect of a decrease of 153 million boe in our proved reserves. The net result of these additions and disposals, excluding production, was an increase of 81 million boe to our proved reserves in 2016. Considering a production of 925 million boe in 2016, our decrease of proved reserves was 844 million boe.

(v) Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas quantities and changes therein

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, related to the above proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with the requirements of Codification Topic 932 – Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas.

Estimated future cash inflows from production in Brazil are computed by applying the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. Future price changes are limited to those provided by contractual arrangements existing at the end of each reporting year. Future development and production costs are those estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and produce year-end estimated proved reserves based on year-end cost, assuming continuing economic conditions. Estimated future income taxes (including future social contributions on net income - CSLL) are calculated by applying appropriate year-end statutory tax rates. The amounts presented as future income taxes expenses reflect allowable deductions considering statutory tax rates. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using 10% mid-period discount factors. This discounting requires a year-by-yearestimate of when the future expenditures will be incurred and when the reserves will be produced.

The valuation prescribed under Codification Topic 932 – Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas requires assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. The calculations are made as of December 31 each year and should not be relied upon as an indication of Petrobras’ future cash flows or the value of its oil and gas reserves.

Additional information of general public concern – Law 13.303/16 (unaudited)

In order to comply with rules of disclosure about the activities that, in accordance with the requirements of article 3 of Petrobras’ Bylaws, are related to the achievement of public interest purposes under conditions different from those of any other private sector company operating in the same market, we summarize below the commitments in effect in the year 2018.

 

I – Priority Thermoelectric Program – (Programa Prioritário de Termeletricidade- PPT)

On February 24, 2000, the Brazilian federal government enacted the Decree No. 3.371 governing the implementation of thermoelectric power plants in Brazil through the Priority Thermoelectric Program (PPT). The thermoelectric power plants in the scope of this program were entitled to supply natural gas for up to 20 years with a pre-established price indexed to the U.S. inflation. The gas supply for the plants included in this program, in 2018, generated revenues of approximately US$ 229 and costs of US$ 587. As of December 31, 2018, the company had two plants in the scope of this program plus one plant, which supply of natural gas occurs by virtue of a court order.

II– National Program for Rationalization of the Use of Oil and Gas Products – (Programa Nacional de Racionalização do Uso dos Derivados do Petróleo e do Gás Natural – CONPET)

On February 18, 1991, the Brazilian federal government established the National Program for Rationalization of the Use of Oil and Gas Products (CONPET), which was intended to develop an anti-waste culture in the use of non-renewable natural resources. The Company is also a member of the Brazilian Labeling Program (Programa Brasileiro de Etiquetagem- PBE) in partnership with the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO), which goal is to stimulate the production and use of gas appliances and vehicles with lower carbon emission, in addition of taking part in other agreements for the elaboration of partnerships with entities for the purpose of monitoring and guidance on vehicular emissions. In 2018, the costs associated with CONPET were immaterial.
