巴西石油公司出售旗下日本子公司Nansei Sekiyu

Petrobras has announced the sale of its subsidiary Nansei Sekiyu to Japanese player Taiyo Oil for $129.3 million, as the Brazilian giant continues to make steps to divest non-core assets.

Nansei Sekiyu has a refinery in the island of Okinawa, Japan, that has capacity to process 100,000 barrels per day of oil.

The company also has 36 tanks that store 9.5 million barrels of oil and oil products, three piers for loading and unloading ships and a monobuoy.

According to Petrobras, closing of the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected in December 2016.

Petrobras aims to sell $34.6 billion worth of assets by 2018.
