Obligations In accordance with Codification Topic 410-20, adopted by Petrobras since January 2003, the fair value of asset retirement obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis when they are incurred, which is typically at the time the related assets are installed. Amounts recorded for the related assets will be increased by the amount of these obligations and depreciated over the related useful lives of such assets. Over time, the amounts recognized as liabilities will be accreted for the change in their present value until the related assets are retired or sold. Measurement of asset retirement obligations is based on currently enacted laws and regulations, existing technology and site-specific costs. There are no assets legally restricted to be used in the settlement of asset retirement obligations.

During 2009, the impairment charge was primarily related to producing properties in Brazil and principal amounts were related to Petrobras Agua Grande field. In 2009 the petroleum and natural gas fields that presented losses already had high maturity levels and, consequently, produced insufficient petroleum and gas to cover production costs. This factor had a reducing effect on the economic analysis that led to the recording of a provision for loss through devaluation in some fields. During 2008, the impairment charge was primarily related to goodwill impairment of Petrobras indirect subsidiary in the United States Pasadena Refining System (US$223) and to producing properties in Brazil (US$171) and principal amounts were related to Petrobras Guajá field. During 2007, the impairment charge was primarily related to international investments (US$226): in Ecuador (US$174), due to the tax and legal changes implemented by the government of that country, previously mentioned (see Note 9(b)); in the United States (US$39); and in Angola (US$13). </div> 9.   Property, Plant and Equipment, Net Property, plant and equipment, at cost, are summarized as follows: false false false Disclosure of long-lived, physical assets that are used in the normal conduct of business to produce goods and services and not intended for resale.
