Petrobras Considering Qatari Shareholding, Qatar Minister Says - Bloomberg.com

Petroleo Brasileiro SA is considering a proposal by Qatar to take a shareholding in the Brazilian state-controlled oil company, Qatari Energy Minister Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah said.

“We are always studying the best opportunities and Petrobras is a big company and it has a lot of activities. So why not?” the minister said today in an interview in the Qatari capital Doha, where he was attending a ceremony. “Now they will discuss it and evaluate it.”

A Qatari shareholding in Petrobras would be a “good achievement,” Al-Attiyah said. It’s “too early” to predict how big a stake Qatar might assume, he said.
