—
Rio de Janeiro, January 14, 2022 - Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras confirms the achievement of its production targets for the year 2021, with the following results:
| Production | Performed | Goal |

The highlights of 2021 were:

| · | own production in the pre-salt, which totaled 1.95 MMboed in 2021, representing<br>70% of Petrobras' total production; |

Revision of the 2022 production target
Following up on the release disclosed on December 17, 2021, Petrobras informs the revision of the oil and gas production target for 2022 to reflect the effect of the result of the 2^nd^ Round of Bids for the Transfer of Rights Surplus under the Production Sharing Regime.
With the start of the effectiveness of the Production Sharing Regime in Atapu and Sepia, scheduled for early May 2022, the shares of each party in the shared fields, including the portions of the Transfer of Rights Agreement and the Concession Agreements, will become:
| Atapu | |
|---|---|
| Partners | Stake in the shared deposit |
| Petrobras (operator) | 65.69% |
| Shell Brasil | 16,66% |
| TotalEnergies EP | 15.00% |
| Petrogal Brasil | 1.70% |
| Pré-sal Petróleo – PPSA | 0.95% |
| Sépia | |
| --- | --- |
| Partners | Stake in the shared deposit |
| Petrobras (operator) | 55.30% |
| TotalEnergies EP | 16.91% |
| Petronas | 12.69% |
| QP Brasil | 12.69% |
| Petrogal Brasil | 2.41% |
The start of production sharing for FPSOs P-70 and Carioca, operating in the Atapu and Sépia fields, respectively, will impact Petrobras' production target disclosed in the 2022-26 Strategic Plan. In the year 2022, we will have a reduction in the amount of 70 Mboed for the total production of oil and gas, and the change of the range from 2.7 MMboed to 2.6 MMboed with a variation of 4% up or down. Oil production and commercial production had an impact of about 60 Mboed, but remained with the same ranges, respectively, 2.1 MMbpd and 2.3 MMboed, with a variation of 4% up or down. For the period between 2023 and 2026, the average estimated impact for production is a reduction of 0.1 MMboed.
For Atapu, Petrobras will receive compensation before the gross up, in the amount of US$ 1.5 billion, by April 15, 2022. In the case of Sépia, the amount is US$ 2.2 billion, and the date of receipt is still under negotiation with the sharing consortium. The portion of the bonus due by Petrobras for the two fields, in the amount of R$ 4.2 billion, should be paid in 1Q22.

Regarding the investments for 2022, the announced forecast of US$ 11 billion is maintained. Throughout this year, the Development Plans for the production of the surplus volumes in Atapu and Sépia will be discussed with partners and PPSA, which should include the implementation of a new production system in each field. These adjustments will be reflected and disclosed in the Strategic Plan 2023-27.
