EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Annual Report on Form 20-F of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.—Petrobras (“Petrobras”) and Petrobras International Finance Company (“PifCo”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 filed on May 19, 2010 (the “Original Form 20-F”) is being filed solely to replace third-party engineering reports of DeGolyer and MacNaughton (“D&M”) filed with the Original Form 20-F. The revised reports are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The changes in the revised reports are summarized below:
    With respect to the report relating to Petrobras’ domestic reserves located onshore and offshore Brazil, D&M revised its original report to (1) include a more complete discussion of the methods employed by the third-party engineer to arrive at its conclusion that there was no material difference between the net proved reserve estimates prepared by Petrobras and D&M; (2) present 12-month average adjusted and benchmark price information for oil and natural gas used to determine reserve volumes; and (3) state the aggregate percentage difference between the net proved reserve estimates of Petrobras and D&M.
 
    D&M’s report relating Petrobras’ international reserves located at certain selected properties in North America and South America (outside of Brazil) has been revised to include the 12-month average adjusted and benchmark pricing information for oil and natural gas used to determine reserve volumes.
 
    D&M deleted language from the final paragraph of each of its reports purporting to limit reliance on the report.
This Amendment No. 1 consists of a cover page, this explanatory note, Item 19, Exhibit 99.1, and the signature pages and the required certifications of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of each of Petrobras and PifCo.
Except for the matters described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update disclosure in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 20-F.

Gentlemen:
     Pursuant to your request, we have conducted a reserves audit of the net proved crude oil, condensate, and natural gas reserves, as of December 31, 2009, of certain properties owned by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras). The properties are located in Brazil and offshore from Brazil. Petrobras has represented that these properties account for 96.5 percent on a net equivalent barrel basis of Petrobras’ net proved reserves as of December 31, 2009, and that the net proved reserves estimates have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. We have reviewed information provided to us by Petrobras that it represents to be Petrobras’ estimates of the net reserves, as of December 31, 2009, for the same properties as those which we evaluated. The results of our reserves audit completed on February 17, 2010 are compared to Petrobras’ estimates of reserves and comments on such comparison are presented herein.
     Reserves included herein are expressed as net reserves as represented by Petrobras. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced from these properties after December 31, 2009. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by Petrobras after deducting all interests owned by others.
     Estimates of oil, condensate, and natural gas should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such reserves estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.
     Data used in this audit were obtained from reviews with Petrobras personnel, Petrobras files, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information furnished by Petrobras with respect to property interests, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination of the properties was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.

 


 

DeGolyer and MacNaughton
Methodology and Procedures
     Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry. The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history. The assumptions, data, methods, and procedures we have relied on and used are appropriate for the purpose served by this report.
     When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and the original gas in place (OGIP). Structure and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. When adequate data were available and when circumstances justified, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate OOIP or OGIP.
     Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP or OGIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors. An analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-oil ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves.
     For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate.
     Petroleum reserves estimated by Petrobras and by us are classified as proved and are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. Petrobras represents that its estimates of the proved reserves classifications used are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC.

this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. Proved reserves classifications used in this report are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X of the SEC. The petroleum reserves are classified as follows:
Proved oil and gas reserves – Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:
(A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and
(B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.
(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:
(A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and
(B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

DeGolyer and MacNaughton
(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Developed oil and gas reserves – Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:
(i) Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and
(ii) Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
     Undeveloped reserves – Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
(i) Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.
(ii) Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.
(iii) Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in [section 210.4–10 (a) Definitions], or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Primary Economic Assumptions
     The following economic assumptions were used for estimating existing and future prices and costs:
     Oil and Condensate Prices
Petrobras has represented that the oil and condensate prices were based on a 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual agreements. The 12-month average adjusted product price was U.S.$51.55 per barrel based on a 12-month average benchmark product price of U.S.$60.20 per barrel. Petrobras supplied differentials by field to a Brent reference price and the prices were held constant thereafter.
     Natural Gas Prices
Petrobras has represented that the natural gas prices were based on a 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual agreements. The 12-month average adjusted product price was U.S.$3.18 per thousand cubic feet based on a 12-month average internal product transfer price of U.S.$3.80 per thousand cubic feet provided by Petrobras. The internal product transfer price is the agreed price of gas between Petrobras E&P (upstream division) and Petrobras Gas & Energy (downstream division). These prices were not escalated for inflation.
     Operating Expenses and Capital Costs
Operating expenses and capital costs, based on information provided by Petrobras, were used in estimating future costs required to operate the properties. In certain cases, future costs, either higher or lower than existing costs, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions. These costs were not escalated for inflation.
     While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participant’s ability to recover its oil and gas reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2009, estimated oil and gas volumes. The reserves estimated in this report can be produced under current regulatory guidelines.

     Petrobras has represented that estimated net proved reserves attributable to the reviewed properties are based on the definitions of proved reserves of the SEC. Petrobras represents that its estimates of the net proved reserves attributable to these properties which represent 96.5 percent of Petrobras’s reserves on a net equivalent basis are as follows, expressed in millions of barrels (MMbbl), billions of cubic feet (Bcf), and millions of barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe):

    9,633.6       9,179.9       11,163.6  
Note: Gas is converted to oil equivalent using a factor of 6,000 cubic feet of gas per 1 barrel of oil equivalent.
     In our opinion, the information relating to estimated proved reserves of oil, condensate, natural gas liquids, and gas contained in this report has been prepared in accordance with Paragraphs 932-235-50-4, 932-235-50-6, 932-235-50-7, and 932-235-50-9 of the Accounting. Standards Update 932-235-50, Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (January 2010) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and Rules 4–10(a) (1)–(32) of Regulation S–X and Rules 302(b), 1201, 1202(a) (1), (2), (3), (4), (8)(i), (ii), and (iv)–(x), and 1203(a) of Regulation S–K of the SEC.
     In comparing the detailed net proved reserves estimates prepared by us and by Petrobras, we have found differences, both positive and negative. It is our opinion that the net proved reserves estimates prepared by Petrobras on the properties reviewed by us and referred to above, when compared on the basis of net equivalent barrels, in aggregate, do not differ materially from those prepared by us. This opinion is based on a detailed and independent reserves evaluation of over 96 percent of Petrobras’ net proved reserves in Brazil conducted in accordance with the methodology and procedures set forth above. The aggregate difference between our estimates of the net proved reserves of the fields evaluated is less than 1 percent compared to estimates prepared by Petrobras for the same fields.

Gentlemen:
     Pursuant to your request, we have conducted a reserves audit of the net proved crude oil, condensate, and natural gas reserves, as of December 31, 2009, of certain selected properties in North America and South America (outside of Brazil) owned by Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras). Petrobras has represented that these properties account for 93.3 percent on a net equivalent barrel basis of Petrobras’ net proved reserves in operated fields outside of Brazil as of December 31, 2009. The net proved reserves estimates prepared by us have been prepared in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4-10(a) (1)—(32) of Regulation S—X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. The results of our reserves audits, completed on January 11, 2010 for the North American properties, January 15, 2010, and February 17, 2010 for the South American properties outside of Brazil, are presented herein.
     Reserves included herein are expressed as net reserves. Gross reserves are defined as the total estimated petroleum to be produced from these properties after December 31, 2009. Net reserves are defined as that portion of the gross reserves attributable to the interests owned by Petrobras after deducting all interests owned by others.
     Estimates of oil, condensate, and natural gas should be regarded only as estimates that may change as further production history and additional information become available. Not only are such reserves estimates based on that information which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application of judgmental factors in interpreting such information.
     Data used in this audit were obtained from reviews with Petrobras personnel, Petrobras files, from records on file with the appropriate regulatory agencies, and from public sources. Additionally, this information includes data supplied by Petroleum Information/Dwights LLC; Copyright 2009 Petroleum Information/Dwights LLC. In the preparation of this report we have relied, without independent verification, upon such information furnished by Petrobras with respect to property interests, production from such properties, current costs of operation and development, current prices for production, agreements relating to current and future operations and sale of production, and various other information and data that were accepted as represented. A field examination of the properties was not considered necessary for the purposes of this report.

Methodology and Procedures
     Estimates of reserves were prepared by the use of standard geological and engineering methods generally accepted by the petroleum industry. The method or combination of methods used in the analysis of each reservoir was tempered by experience with similar reservoirs, stage of development, quality and completeness of basic data, and production history. The assumptions, data, methods, and procedures we have relied on and used are appropriate for the purpose served by this report.
     When applicable, the volumetric method was used to estimate the original oil in place (OOIP) and the original gas in place (OGIP). Structure and isopach maps were constructed to estimate reservoir volume. Electrical logs, radioactivity logs, core analyses, and other available data were used to prepare these maps as well as to estimate representative values for porosity and water saturation. When adequate data were available and when circumstances justified, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate OOIP or OGIP.
     Estimates of ultimate recovery were obtained after applying recovery factors to OOIP or OGIP. These recovery factors were based on consideration of the type of energy inherent in the reservoirs, analyses of the petroleum, the structural positions of the properties, and the production histories. When applicable, material balance and other engineering methods were used to estimate recovery factors. An analysis of reservoir performance, including production rate, reservoir pressure, and gas-oil ratio behavior, was used in the estimation of reserves.
     For depletion-type reservoirs or those whose performance disclosed a reliable decline in producing-rate trends or other diagnostic characteristics, reserves were estimated by the application of appropriate decline curves or other performance relationships. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limits of economic production or to the limit of the production licenses as appropriate.
     Petroleum reserves estimated by Petrobras and by us are classified as proved and are judged to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and assuming continuation of current regulatory practices using conventional production methods and equipment. In the analyses of production-decline curves, reserves were estimated only to the limit of economic rates of production under existing economic and operating conditions using prices and costs consistent with the effective date of this report, including consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements but not including escalations based upon future conditions. Proved reserves classifications used by Petrobras are in accordance with the reserves definitions of Rules 4-10(a) (1)—(32) of Regulation S—X of the SEC.

     Natural Gas Prices
Petrobras has represented that the natural gas prices were based on a 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, unless prices are defined by contractual agreements. The 12-month average adjusted product price in South America was U.S.$2.10 per thousand cubic feet based on the 12-month weighted average of contract prices provided by Petrobras. The 12-month average adjusted product price in North America was U.S.$3.83 per thousand cubic feet, based on a 12-month average Henry Hub benchmark product price of U.S.$3.83 per thousand cubic feet. These prices were not escalated for inflation.
     Operating Expenses and Capital Costs
Operating expenses and capital costs, based on information provided by Petrobras, were used in estimating future costs required to operate the properties. In certain cases, future costs, either higher or lower than existing costs, may have been used because of anticipated changes in operating conditions. These costs were not escalated for inflation.
     While the oil and gas industry may be subject to regulatory changes from time to time that could affect an industry participant’s ability to recover its oil and gas reserves, we are not aware of any such governmental actions which would restrict the recovery of the December 31, 2009, estimated oil and gas volumes. The reserves estimated in this report can be produced under current regulatory guidelines.
     Our estimates of Petrobras’s net proved reserves attributable to the reviewed properties are based on the definitions of proved reserves of the SEC and are as follows, expressed in millions of barrels (MMbbl), millions of cubic feet (MMcf), and millions of barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe):
