History
Petrobras' financial growth between 2002 and 2006
Petrobras was created in 1953 under the government of Brazilian president Get煤lio Vargas with the slogan "The Oil is Ours" (Portuguese: "O petr贸leo 茅 nosso"). It was given a legal monopoly in Brazil.[10] In 1953, Brazil produced only 2,700 barrels of oil per day. In 1961, the company's REDUC refinery began operations near Rio de Janeiro, and in 1963, its Cenpes research center opened in Rio de Janeiro; it remains one of the world's largest centers dedicated to energy research. In 1968, the company established Petrobras Quimica S.A ("Petroquisa"), a subsidiary focused on petrochemicals and the conversion of naphtha into ethene.
