Petrobras reported that from Saturday (1st) will reduce the price of natural gas in contracts with distributors by 1.7% (on average) compared to the previous quarter. The reduction does not apply to the price of LPG (cooking gas), packaged in cylinders or sold in bulk.
The contracts between Petrobras and the distributors provide for quarterly updates in part of the price of the gas molecule, which is related to fluctuations in the price of Brent oil and the exchange rate between the real and the dollar. According to Petrobras, for the quarter starting in November 2025, the Brent oil reference rose 2.18%, while the real appreciated 3.83%.
According to the company, since December 2022, the average price of the molecule sold to distributors has accumulated a reduction of 33%. However, Petrobras emphasizes that the final price of natural gas to the consumer is not only determined by the selling price of the molecule, but also by the cost of transportation, federal and state taxes, among other factors.
