SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil's state-controlled oil company Petrobras will exercise its right of first refusal over three of the areas to be auctioned off in June in the country's next pre-salt oil round, the company said in a securities filing on Thursday.
Under oil sector rules, Petróleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally called, has the right to opt for a 30 percent minimum stake in any pre-salt blocks in Brazil. The firm said it would exercise that right over the blocks Dois Irmãos, Três Marias and Uirapuru.
