According to PetroReconcavo’s CEO, Marcelo Magalhães, the Company will remain firm in there purpose of becoming one of the main suppliers of the input in the Northeast Region. “We seek to capture the best opportunities generated in this new market and we actively participate in the public calls. Later on, we hope to advance with the supply to industrial consumers within the free market. We are confident in our development and expansion plan, which is in line with the macro-objective of leading the transformation of the onshore oil and gas market in Brazil.
