Petrobras Invests 800 Million Reais in Repar Refinery Maintenance

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On October 2, Petrobras announced that the Presidente Getúlio Vargas Refinery (Repar), located in Araucária, Paraná, will begin a planned shutdown for maintenance on October 5, expected to last until the second half of November. The maintenance represents an investment of approximately 800 million reais, will mobilize around 6,000 workers at peak, and covers multiple core production units and more than 1,000 pieces of equipment at the refinery.

This round of work covers the fluid catalytic cracking unit, diesel hydrotreating unit, gasoline hydrotreating unit, and related auxiliary facilities, primarily involving equipment inspection, maintenance, and technical modifications. Production units related to liquefied petroleum gas and gasoline are also included in the scope of this maintenance.

The Repar refinery has a crude oil processing capacity of approximately 33,000 cubic meters per day, mainly producing diesel, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas, aviation kerosene, asphalt, petroleum coke, propylene, fuel oil, and marine fuel oil. About 85% of its products are supplied to Paraná, Santa Catarina, southern São Paulo, and Mato Grosso do Sul, with the remainder supplied to other regions of Brazil or used for export.

During the maintenance period, Petrobras will maintain product supply through inventory and logistics allocation. This round of work has been included in the company's 2026 planned refinery maintenance schedule.
