Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of most of our exploration and production assets using the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased 3.0% to U.S.$2,891 million in the first half of 2009 compared to U.S.$2,981 million in the first half of 2008. Excluding the impact of the depreciation of the Real, depreciation, depletion and amortization increased in the first half of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008, due to higher capital expenditures and increased oil and gas production.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of most of our exploration and production assets using the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased 8.4% to U.S.$1,328 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to U.S.$1,450 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased when expressed in Reais in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 due to higher capital expenditures and increased domestic oil and gas production.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
 
We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of most of our exploration and production assets using the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased 50.9% to U.S.$5,544 million for 2007, compared to U.S.$3,673 million for 2006. This increase resulted from higher capital spending and increased depletion and amortization charges relating to increased oil and gas production.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of most of our exploration and production assets on the basis of the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased 45.9% to U.S.$ 3,816 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to U.S.$ 2,616 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the following: (1) an increase in depletion and amortization related to property, plant and equipment associated with our crude oil and natural gas production; (2) increased capital expenditures related to property, plant and equipment associated with our crude oil and natural gas production; and (3) the 8.3% increase in the value of the Real against the U.S. dollar in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to exploration and production assets are calculated on the basis of the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased 7.5% to U.S.$1,785 million for 2003, as compared to U.S.$1,930 million for 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to the 5.2% decrease in the value of the Real against the U.S. dollar in 2003, as compared to 2002, and to the effect of the adoption of SFAS 143 in 2003. In 2002, U.S.$281 million in abandonment costs were recognized as depreciation, depletion and amortization in accordance with SFAS 19. In 2003, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 143, depreciation on the asset retirement obligation was recorded under depreciation, depletion and amortization, while accretion expense was recorded under exploration, including exploratory dry holes. See “—Impact of New Accounting Standards—SFAS 143.” This change resulted in U.S.$21 million in abandonment costs being recognized as depreciation, depletion and amortization in 2003. The decrease in depreciation, depletion and amortization, was partially offset by an increase of depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses of approximately U.S.$182 million incurred in connection with the activities of PEPSA and PELSA.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

 

We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of exploration and production assets on the basis of the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased 25.7% to U.S.$ 670 million for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to U.S.$ 533 million for the first quarter of 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to the following:

 

    Increase in the depreciation rates from the Roncador, Marlim Sul and Jubarte Fields as a result of increased production;

 

    Increased property, plant and equipment (PP&E) expenditures associated with our crude oil and natural gas production; and

 

    the 8.0% increase in the value of the Real against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to the first quarter of 2004.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

 

We calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization of exploration and production assets on the basis of the units of production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased 39.0% to U.S.$ 2,481 million for 2004, as compared to U.S.$ 1,785 million for 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the following:

 

    an increase of approximately U.S.$ 331 million resulting from higher depreciation principally associated with the Dourado, Roncador, Marlim Sul and Jubarte Fields as a result of increased property, plant and equipment (PP&E) expenditures;

 

    an increase of approximately U.S.$ 156 million resulting from the full consolidation of PEPSA and PELSA; and

 

    the 4.8% increase in the value of the Real against the U.S. dollar in 2004, as compared to 2003.
