Petrobras America Inc.
 PROFILE
Petrobras America is engaged in oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico. It also markets oil and oil products and procures materials and equipment for its parent, PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO (PETROBRAS). The parent company established Petrobras Internacional (Braspetro) in 1972 to handle its oil and gas operations outside of Brazil. Its original focus was the Middle East, North Africa, and Colombia, but deregulation led the subsidiary to begin exploration in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. Braspetro set up subsidiary Petrobras America in 1987 to manage the exploration, production, and commercialization of PETROBRAS' oil activities in the US. The Brazilian government owns a controlling stake in PETROBRAS.
