The application of the resources provided in the
RD&I clauses was originally regulated by Resolu-
tion 33/20005 and the respective Technical Reg-
ulation 5/2005
2019
ANP Technical Regulation 3/2015 (standards for application of resources) was improved by ANP Resolu-
tion 799/2019 And ANP Technical Regulation 7/2012 (accreditation of institutions) was improved by ANP
Resolution 775/2019
The revisions of the regulations expanded the possibilities of operations by research institutions, encourag-
ing the execution of projects in partnership between universities and companies.
2022
In February 2022, the ANP
approved the resolution
that improves the rules
for the application of RD&I
resources
The new version of the
resolution proposes grea-
ter clarity on the eligibility
of RD&I projects relative to
renewable energies and the
energy transition, including
de-carbonization, CO2 cap-
ture and characterization
and environmental protec-
tion studies.
4.2. Obligations created by the
RD&I clause in Brazil
Between 1998 and June 2021, the
RD&I clause generated in Brazil
approximately R$ 20.0 billion in
volume of obligations, where Petro-
bras was responsible for R$ 17.3
billion (86.1%). In 2020 (the last year
with information available for the
12 months), the amount generated
in obligations under the clause was
R$ 1.46 billion, a 24.4% decrease
compared to 2019.
Petrobras' relative share compared
to other oil companies in 2020 was
72.6%. Despite this result repre-
senting a concentration, there is an
increase in the participation of oth-
er companies, which was 16.6% in
2015 and rose to 27.4% in 2020.
