The load processed (primary processing) by refineries in Brazil increased 7% in fiscal year 2004 in relation to the previous year, due to the modernization and expansion of the refining facilities at RLAM, REVAP, REGAP and REPLAN in 2003, reflecting better operating performance in 2004 and allowing the renewal of by-product stock levels that were used during the scheduled stops in the period, in addition to bringing them up to adequate levels for future stops. The 5% increase in internal consumption of by-products in Brazil also contributed to growth in load processed.
