The Company ended the year with an annual daily production of oil and gas of 2,217 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), consolidated earnings of R$ 23,725 billion and total investments of R$ 25,710 billion, all historical records. In order to obtain these results, we implemented a vigorous plan of action based principally on the continuation of a bold investment cycle that allows us to achieve sustainable returns over the medium and long-term. This effort, initiated during the administration of President José Eduardo Dutra with whom I shared the command of the company during 2005, made it possible to restructure our activities and improve our strategic vision of the future. “ I N A S I T U AT I O N I N W H I C H A SCARCITY OF ENERGY R E S O U R C E S , M A I N LY O I L , H A S BECOME MORE AND MORE E V I D E N T, A C H I E V I N G S E L F SUFFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN I M P O R TA N T S T E P TO WA R D S REDUCING THE RISK AND VULNERABILITY OF BRAZIL´S In practical terms, I should mention that we passed the benchmark of 1.8 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) produced in Brazil, mainly due to the startup of the P-43 and P-48 platforms. We consider this a milestone in the ability of Petrobras’ technical and managerial staff to overcome challenges. In 2003, these units were well behind in executing their projects and ran serious risks in contractual and operational feasibility. Nevertheless, we were able to reverse the situation and today the two rigs are operating at full production. As a result, we were able to boost annual oil production in Brazil by 13%. This growth TRADE BALANCE. AND placed Petrobras in the ranks of companies with the highest rise in production in the P ET R O B R AS I S P R O U D TO B E world oil industry in 2005. Even with our expanded production, we were able to M A K I N G A N I M P O R TA N T CO N T R I B U T I O N TOWA R D S R E A C H I N G T H I S G O A L .” guarantee a 131% replacement rate of our oil reserves. That is, for each barrel we produced, we replaced 1.31 barrels in our reserves, meaning that we continue to maintain long-term sustainable growth. In step with the restructuring of our exploration portfolio and the preservation of sustainable growth, during the 7th Bidding Round run by the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency (ANP), Petrobras acquired 96 new exploratory blocks, of which 42 were exclusive and 54 were in partnership, totaling the greatest number of exploratory areas in its portfolio since the Agency began running the auctions. We are now quite close to self-sufficiency in providing oil and oil products to our main market MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT — Brazil. This target, which is symbolic for Brazilian society, will materialize in a sustainable manner in 2006, in its composition, and it already is fueling fleets of buses and trucks in large cities. Developed by as soon as the recently launched P-50 platform reaches its peak production capacity of 180,000 bpd in Petrobras, the new fuel contributes to improve air quality and is part of the Company’s commitment to the Campos Basin. In a situation in which a scarcity of energy resources, mainly oil, has become more and social and environmental responsibility. more evident, achieving self-sufficiency represents an important step towards reducing the risk and Moreover, the projects that have been approved by the current management in Brazil have a vulnerability of Brazil´s trade balance. And Petrobras is proud to be making an important contribution commitment to domestic content of at least 60%, which will strengthen local industry and generate towards reaching this goal. thousands of direct and indirect jobs. Of particular note in this regard was the approval of the order for Petrobras has sought to expand its activities with the same entrepreneurial determination and spirit. The Company’s project for international expansion is based upon the same ethical and business 42 tankers — the largest to be given to the naval industry in the country. The confidence of our shareholders and investors in the Company’s results can be principles that are leading the Brazilian market to sustainable self-sufficiency. Thus, in 2005 Petrobras measured by the performance of our shares. During the course of 2005, there was an intensified its activities in Africa, South America and United States, strengthening its international increase in the average daily financial trading volume of Petrobras’ shares.

We expanded our shareholder base and earned an Pursuing the same strategic objective of adding value to its products, Petrobras decided to build a new refinery in the Northeast of Brazil, in the state of Pernambuco, with scheduled investments of US$ 2.5 billion. This is the first project for a Petrobras refining facility since conclusion of the Henrique Laje Refinery (Revap) in 1980 in the state of São Paulo. investment grade rating from Moody’s Investor Service for our foreign currency debt — four levels higher than the classification of the Brazilian sovereign risk. Petrobras’ results in 2005 were reflected in the Company’s market capitalization, which rose 54% in 2005. Today we are the 8th most valuable company in the sector in In the energy area, Petrobras took over full control of three power plants in 2005: TermoRio (1,040 the world and the highest valued in Latin America, according to Business Week magazine MW), Eletrobolt (388 MW) and TermoCeará (220 MW) — the latter two being Merchant type plants. In In the following pages, you will find greater detail about Petrobras’ results in 2005. February 2006, we signed a memorandum of understanding for the acquisition of the Macaé Merchant They were conquests that consecrated the efforts of our employees and suppliers Plant (929 MW), thus reducing the need to make contingency payments.

President and CEO of Petrobras One of the underpinnings of our action plan has been continuous massive investment in technological development. And the results can be seen in, for example, the national record for drilling depth: a slanting well that reached 6,915 meters below the sea bottom in the Santos Basin. Our refineries have been adapted — and this is a permanent practice — to process more heavy oil and to improve the quality of our products, extracting high added value oil products.

A. – Petrobras as the state company to be the executor of the monopoly. Oil production at the giant Albacora field in the Campos Basin is initiated in 420 meters of water depth, a world record at the time. 1966 The largest natural gas reserve on the Brazilian continental shelf is discovered in the Santos Basin. New light oil provinces are found in Espírito Santo and Sergipe, with high potential for exploration and production. The giant Roncador field in the Campos Basin is discovered. Another giant oil field is discovered at the Campos Basin: Marlim Sul. Creation of the Petrobras Research Center (Cenpes). 1977 Campos Basin production begins through an early system installed at the Enchova field. 1961 1968 Exploration of the continental platform from Maranhão to Espírito Santo is initiated. First offshore discovery of oil: the Guaricema field in Sergipe. Oil industry activities in Brazil are opened up to private initiative. Production exceeds the historic milestone of 1 million barrels per day. 1985 The giant Marlim field is discovered in the Campos Basin. 1988 The Rio Urucu field starts producing in Alto Amazonas, celebrating a long period of prospecting activities in the Amazon region. Oil production in Brazil | 1953 to 2005 1997 1986 The Technological Innovation and Advanced Development in Deep and Ultra-Deep Water Program (PROCAP) is created. Initially, the program studies solutions for exploration and production in water up to 1,000 meters deep. Subsequently, the studies are extended to waters 2,000-3,000 meters in depth. 1963 1954 Petrobras begins its activities, taking over the collection of assets of the former National Petroleum Council (CNP). Production is 2,700 barrels of oil per day. The discovery of the Carmópolis (SE) field opens up prospects for production outside of Bahia. 1962 The company reaches the production mark of 100,000 barrels of oil per day. 1974 The discovery of the Garoupa field off the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro marks the beginning of the conquest of the Campos Basin, which will become the largest production region in the country. 1999 1994 1984 The giant Albacora field is discovered in the Campos Basin. Production reaches 500,000 barrels per day. The first semi-submersible platform totally developed by Petrobras technicians (Petrobras-18) begins operations in the Marlim field of the Campos Basin). Petrobras breaks the work offshore production record at the Roncador field in the Campos Basin, producing at 1,853 meters of water depth. 2005 On December 19, Petrobras sets a production record of 1,857,425 barrels of oil per day. Work on the P-50 platform, which has the capacity to produce 180,000 barrels a day, is concluded. Installed in the Albacora Leste field of the Campos Basin, it will assure sustainable oil selfsufficiency for the country when it hits peak production in 2006.

The control of the price of oil products in China and the subsequent stagnation of Chinese imports of such products contributed to reduced growth in demand, as did the impact of the hurricanes on the U.S. economy.

The year, thus, was notable for OPEC’s reduced surplus capacity, which inserted a high risk Because non-OPEC oil does not satisfy incremental demand, the organization began to produce more, as in 2004, premium into the price of oil. placing excess capacity into operation, which today consists primarily of heavy oil.

Although the target had no longer been a benchmark for the organization since 2004, refineries to convert this oil into the medium and light oil products most required, such as diesel and gasoline. its suspension formalized the view that OPEC desired a higher price level.

In Rio Grande do Norte, UPGN III in Guamaré (1.5 million m3/day) initiated its pre-operation activities in December. In 2005, the average lifting cost without government participation was US$ 5.73 per barrel of oil equivalent, INCREASE IN OIL PRODUCTION DURING 2005 PLACED THE COUNTRY ON THE DOORSTEP OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY 34% higher than during 2004, due to the 17% appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, the increase in the rates of leased drilling rigs, operational transportation, underwater operations, restoration and maintenance and chemical products, as well as increases stemming from the collective bargaining agreement and an increase in the size of the labor force. Taking into account government participations, this cost rose to US$ 14.65 per boe. Evolution of the Production of Oil, LNG, Condensate and Natural Gas (thousands of boed) 2000 1,270 1,336 2001 The growth of domestic oil production in 2005 left the country close to self-sufficiency, boosting the Company’s 2002 1,491 221 232 1,568 252 1,500 1,752 operating flexibility. Continuing its strategy of surmounting domestic demand, Petrobras produced 1,684 thousand barrels per day (bpd) of oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and condensate in Brazil. The increase represented a 2003 1,540 250 1,790 12.8% rise over the 1,493 thousand bpd produced in 2004. Four large projects contributed to raise production.

As reinforcement for production in the Marlim field, in November Petrobras put the P-47, with capacity for 1 - Nosso Negocios (1º parte) treating 150 thousand bpd of crude oil, into operation. Average production in 2005 increased significantly, remaining close to the established target of 1,700 bpd. The cause of the difference was the postponement until 2006 of the startup of the P-50 (180 thousand bpd) in the Production of Oil, Condensate and LNG in Brazil Production of Non–Liquefied Natural Gas in Brazil Distribution by Water Depth Distribution by Water Depth Albacora Leste field in the Campos Basin. 3.0% 5.1% A number of production records were set.

Besides the exceptional performance of the Campos Basin platforms, the Mature Fields Recovery Enhancement Program (RECAGE), which seeks to minimize 15.2% 65.3% 35.0% the decline in mature areas, contributed to the production peaks. For its part, natural gas production (without LNG) also rose, going from 42.1 million m3/day in 2004 to 43.5 million m3/day. The increase, of 3.3%, was the result of the continuity of actions aimed at expanding the supply of domestic gas, in step with the Company’s strategy to strengthen the segment and consolidate its leadership in the distribution and commercialization of the product. 22 PETR OBRA S annual report 2005 0 - 300 m >1,500 m 0 - 300 m >1,500 m 300 - 1,500 m ONSHORE 300 - 1,500 m ONSHORE Production: 1,684 thousand bpd Produção de óleo Produção de Gás Total Production: 43,532 thousand m3/day PETR OBRA S annual report 2005 23 OUR BUSINESSES E x p lor at io n a n d p r od u c t io n THE CONQUEST OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY Discoveries In 2006, Petrobras should reach annual average production of 1,910 thousand bpd, surpassing Brazilian In 2005, Petrobras declared the commercial viability of eight new oil and gas fields.

New fields that were discovered in the past few years and had commercial viability declared recently (580 million boe) contributed to the increase in the volume of the proved reserves as did new accumulations discovered in fields that already are in production (300 million boe). The incorporation of existing fields resulted in the transformation of probable and possible reserves into proved reserves, thanks to development continuity.

In 2005, the average refining unit cost was US$ 1.90/bbl, 38% higher than the previous year. This result stems from the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar; a greater number of scheduled maintenance industrial shutdowns compared to 2004; higher operating costs due to the startup of new facilities; and an increase in the cost of outsourcing contracts. sufficiency, the strengthening of relations with international buyers of Brazilian heavy oil was a determining factor for the boost in exports, which hit 504 thousand bpd — an amount that was 23% more than in 2004. The increase in the commercialization of oil abroad was the result of the adoption of a more aggressive sales strategy, also motivated by the increase in the international price of the product. At the same time that the The Alberto Pasqualini Refinery (Refap) was included in the program to optimize domestic oil production with Company sought to consolidate already developed markets, it won over new customers.

In the domestic market, the commercialization of oil products by Petrobras averaged 1,655 thousand bpd, an increase of 1.1%. The maintenance of sales near 2004 levels was caused by factors such as the increase in the As part of a program to improve the quality of diesel, the new HDT at Refap was placed into operation at the use of natural gas replacing gasoline and fuel oil, and the expansion of the dual-fuel automobile fleet through end of the year, adding its production to the second of its type installed at the Paulínia Refinery (Replan) and the incentives for the use of alcohol.

Cenpes restructured its exploration R&D program in 2005. Until then based upon joint projects with Brazilian universities, research now has a central focus on the identification of exploration targets with a high degree of probability of an renewable energy sources, Cenpes participates in efforts to consolidate Petrobras as an integrated energy company. accumulation of oil and the detection of the exploration risks in ultra-deep waters and onshore basins. As a result, Cenpes’ participation in solving the Company’s specific challenges has grown. Restructuring led to the creation of the Basin Modeling Program (Promob) and a Geophysics Department. Promob is aimed at running geological simulations designed to reduce exploration risks. The new department will intensify the development of computer applications, emphasizing 4D seismic imaging used to explore areas with complex geological compositions. Beside reducing costs and optimizing Petrobras’ investments, Cenpes’ programs seek to achieve high levels of Technological research operational reliability, safety excellence and the preservation of the environment. For the Company’s downstream Technological know-how is a strategic imperative for sustaining self-sufficiency in Brazilian oil production. The and refining activities, one of the main R&D programs strives to adjust Petrobras’ refineries to the characteristics of Leopoldo Américo Miguez de Mello Research and Development Center (Cenpes), located on the Ilha do Fundão heavy oil in view of the increase production of this type of oil in Brazil. campus of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), is responsible for anticipating and supplying the technological needs for all of Petrobras’ areas. Technologies to be applied in processes, products and services also are under development by Cenpes, including the formulation of fuels with lesser environmental impact. Another line of research is aimed at the development of solutions Cenpes, whose 1,569-person staff has 350 members who hold Master’s degrees and 130 researchers with PhD to increase the useful life of the Company’s pipeline network and to reduce operating costs and transportation risks. qualifications, is composed of technological programs in Research and Development (R&D) and Basic Engineering In the field of natural gas, thermoelectric power generation and renewable fuels, Cenpes is a part of Petrobras’ (BE). The integration of the Center with the 2015 Strategic Plan’s targets has resulted in a number of contributions overall efforts to consolidate itself as an integrated energy company. Besides working on innovations for expanding to the Company’s activities. Among them are the basic projects for the P-34 and P-50 platforms, which are the use of gas, in order to boost gas consumption to 78 million m3/day in 2010, Cenpes is developing programs hallmarks of sustained self-sufficiency. With regard to production R&D, in 2005 Cenpes gave priority to three lines to enable the Company’s operations to achieve environmental excellence and sustainability and become eco- of research: improving the production of heavy oil in an offshore environment; achieving technological advances in ultra-deep water areas; and the minimizing of the decline of mature onshore and offshore oil fields. In its efforts to improve production technology, one of Cenpes’ objectives is to reduce costs for the Company. Horizontal wells are one of Cenpes’ technological contributions for enhancing resources since they increase the flow of oil out of offshore fields by up to a factor of five — thus making Petrobras’ large projects economically feasible. The use of artificial oil lifting equipment, installed at a depth of 2,000 meters, also has been a decisive factor for the development of heavy oil production.

The production of oil and natural gas in Brazil hit 1,958 thousand boe/day, representing an increase of 11.4% compared to the previous year, mainly because of the start up of platforms FPSO-MLS (Marlim Sul) in June 2004, P-43 (Barracuda) in December 2004 and P-48 (Caratinga) in February 2005, and the coming on stream of the UPGN-3 (Urucu) in June 2004, that increased the LNG production of avoiding immediately passing along the volatility of oil prices on the international market to consumers. the Solimões Basin Unit. Overseas, the production of oil and gas declined 1.1% over 2004, totaling 259 thousand boe/day, due to the maintenance shutdown of the Palanca terminal for equipment change (Angola) and a strike in the Austral Basin (Argentina) area over labor-related issues. This result was partially compensated for by the increase in gas production by the Bolivia in order to satisfy an increase in demand. Petrobras’ proved reserves of oil, condensate and natural gas were 14.913 billion boe on December 31, 2005, Oil prices reached very high levels on the international market; the Brent average (US$ 54.38/bbl) was 42.3% above an increase of 0.13% (0.018 billion boe) over the previous year, according to Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) the 2004 average, hitting a peak monthly average of US$ 64.12/bbl in August. This rise directly impacted the lifting cost criteria, with 89% of the reserves located in Brazilian territory and 11% overseas.

From a deficit of on the domestic market in 2005 was R$ 141.57/barril, 19.5% higher than in 2004. This was principally due to the 150 thousand bpd in 2004, 2005 saw a surplus of 58 thousand bpd. From a financial point of view, this meant a increase in the prices of gasoline and diesel that took place at the end of 2004 and in September 2005, the reduction in the oil and oil products trade deficit of some US$ 3 billion. commercializing of S500 diesel as of the beginning of 2005 and sales of other oil products, notably naphtha and aviation fuel, whose prices were readjusted to accompany the higher prices on the international market. Petrobras’ total sales, including exports, natural gas and international sales, totaled 2,780 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (boe), growing 4.3% over 2004 (2,665 thousand boe). However, excluding sales based on imports, the Company’s sales rose 11%, that is by 210 thousand boe. The energy segment grew 2.6%, considerably under the 9.5% obtained in 2004. Gas sales in 2005 rose 7.8% Consolidated gross operating revenues were R$ 179.1 billion, whereas the net operating revenues totaled R$ 136.6 billion, surpassing these indicators in 2004 by 19% and 22.9%, respectively. Contributing to this result was the increase in prices on the domestic and overseas markets together with the increase in the domestic market volume of sales, including natural gas and exports.
