With the contracts signed by its Dutch subsidiary, Petrobras Netherlands BV, the Brazilian oil giant will hold 90% control as an operator of eight offshore blocks in the Ivory Coast. A company statement released yesterday cites Petrobras CEO Magda Chambriard as praising the “high exploratory potential” of the Ivory Coast and highlighting the technical expertise that Petrobras can offer.
