the platforms P-52 and P-54 (Roncador).
• Natural Gas production increased by
10%. Also, an increase of the of the non

• 33% increase in natural gas demand when compared to the 1Q07, due to the increase in industrial
market substitution of fuel oil and higher thermal dispatch;
• Increase in market partly supported by the increase in domestic gas supply (32%) due to higher
non-associated natural gas production in the Peroá field (Espírito Santo) and in the new production
systems. Additional supply from increased production from Bolivia.
* Includes internal consumption in refineries Petrobras’ thermo plants.

domestic productions increase; larger consumption in thermo plants; and increase in inventories,
related to scheduled stoppages in Replan.
• US$ 775 million financial deficit in the 1Q08 due to imports light oil and diesel, which have higher value
than heavy oil and fuel oil exports.

• Up to 4Q07, ARP in Brazil affirmed our policy of aligning the domestic prices with international prices in
the mid/long term;
• From 4Q07, due to a sustained increase in international prices, the spread between prices in Brazil and
in USA led to the readjustment of diesel (15%) and gasoline (10%) prices effective as of may 2nd.

NET INCOME CHANGE – R$ Million (1Q08 VS 4Q07)
Consolidated net income was affected by:
• Increase in Revenues: higher sales prices;
• Decrease in operating expenses: lower exploratory costs and, non occurrence of provision for losses
abroad already accrued in 4Q08;
• Decrease in net financial expenses: lower appreciation of Real applied to foreign assets;
• Increase in Income Taxes and Contributions: net income in 1Q08 did not obtain fiscal benefits due to
payment of interest on equity in the fourth quarter, 2007 .

• Reduction in downstream margins as a result of the increase in oil price ;
• Seasonal decrease in volumes sold;
• Partially compensated due to elevation in the average sales price of oil products (5% quarter over
