The new directors for Exploration & Production, José Miranda Formigli, and Gas & Energy, José Alcides Santoro, took office Tuesday morning during a ceremony held at Petrobras’ main office building, in Rio de Janeiro.
Taking part in the event were Petrobras’ CEO, Maria das Graças Silva Foster, E&P Director Guilherme Estrella, who handed over the office, and Company managers and technicians.
According to the new director for E&P, it is necessary to be even more attentive to short-term result predictability. “ Petrobras has a bright future ahead of it, one few oil companies worldwide can hope to have, whether on account of its access to reserves or due to the Brazilian market, which I consider as one of our main advantages ,” highlighted Formigli.
In his address, Santoro spoke about the work carried out alongside the current CEO of the company. “ When I started working at Cenpes, I met a drilling engineer, a cementing expert, with a capacity to work the likes of which I had never seen before. It was our current CEO, Maria das Graças Silva Foster .”
While remarking on the career of the new director for Gas & Energy, Petrobras’ CEO cited the qualities a team must have in order to be victorious: “ We need competent, loyal people, and Alcides has both qualities .” Maria das Graças Silva Foster met Formigli while working with Well Engineering at the Research Center (Cenpes). “ We were very encouraged by Formigli, for his competence and the seriousness with which he did his work. I wish luck, courage, boldness, creativity and hard work to the new directors ,” she said.
