Petrobras in initial talks to buy back Brazil refinery from Mubadala, sources say

Petrobras is in initial direct negotiations with Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala to repurchase the Mataripe refinery in Brazil. The talks suggest a potentially meaningful asset transaction in Brazil’s energy sector, but Reuters reports the discussions are still at an early stage with no deal terms disclosed. Market impact is likely limited unless negotiations advance materially.
