Here you will find opportunities for the development of new technologies. We celebrate our partnerships when there is a common interest between the partners, always associated with the potential generation of value for Petrobras.
We expect these partnerships to become more agile, diversified and dynamic. Our focus is to allow greater alignment with the needs of the business, with greater generation of value, promoting the increase of highly competent partnerships and thus improving the conditions for innovation.
To partners, our intention is to bring greater transparency about the technological challenges defined by us, equality of conditions, recognition of competence and greater potential.

Common Questions
What is the Technology Investment System?
The Technology Investment Management System (SIGITEC) is the information system for managing Petrobras' research, development and innovation project portfolio.
The purpose of the tool is to systematize and standardize the management of contractual instruments signed between Cenpes and science and technology institutions.
It is divided into several modules, attending to the main processes related to the basic activities of the management of these projects (Planning the work plan, Analysis of the framework of the work plan to the Regulation of Regulatory Agencies and PETROBRAS' compliance rules, Contracting, Transfers, Accountability, Requests to change the original work plan (additions and financial reformulations), Closing and Inspection).
To include projects already negotiated with the technical areas of the Petrobras Research Center (Cenpes) or to monitor projects submitted as of February/2012, access Sigitec.
What are the rules for preparing a new project proposal?
To prepare a new proposal, consult the Manual of Cooperation Terms for R, D&I Projects on the main page of this website.
What is the Terms of Cooperation for R, D&I Projects Manual?
The Cooperation Terms Manual for the development of research and development and innovation (R,D&I) projects regulates the procedures that govern the application of Petrobras resources in Science and Technology Institutions (ICTs) through the Cooperation Agreement instruments. It aggregates the most relevant aspects of all operationalization phases, in order to support the coordinators of these institutions and other professionals involved with the presentation and management of projects at all stages, including the presentation of proposals, contracting, relocation, accountability and disbursements.
For a visiting researcher who comes to spend some time in the country, what is the daily rate for this country?
The daily rates are intended to cover expenses during the trip and, therefore, are linked to the destination of the trip. In this case, the researcher must receive the national daily rate (Brazil), in force at the time of preparation of the proposal.
Is it possible to hire researchers in infrastructure projects?
No. In the executing team of an infrastructure project, there should only be the project coordinator, who should not have a budget linked to this professional, and their workload will only characterize the responsibility and monitoring of the project.
What is the need for accountability?
The release of funds is preceded by the accountability for the previous transfer. Proof of the correct application of the funds received is necessary for the release of subsequent installments.
Is there a need for a single account for each Cooperation Agreement?
Yes. Each Cooperation Agreement must have its bank account open to receive the installment and apply the resource. Bank reconciliation is carried out at each account rendering, where the account balance and the income from the application for the period are checked.
How should I do the accountability?
Accountability must be carried out in the SIGITEC system by the participant responsible for the financial management of the Term, where it will be necessary to include copies of documents of expenses and their proof of payment (invoices, receipts, etc.) and current account statements and financial application.
What is relocation?
Relocation is any change in the disbursement provided for in the original worksheet of the agreement, such as:
· Change of amounts allocated to expense items;
· Substitution or inclusion of materials, goods or services in the list of items in the disbursement worksheet;
· Changes in the composition of the executing team.
How important is relocation?
The relocation changes the original work plan signed between the Science and Technology Institution (ICT) and Petrobras. It impacts on the accountability of the Cooperation Agreement, on the technical-scientific development of research and on mandatory investments in R&D. Thus, any change in the work plan must be previously communicated to Petrobras and authorized by it, in order to ensure that the initial objective of the cooperation instrument is maintained and that the accounting and financial records can be carried out at SIGITEC.
What is the procedure to be adopted in the face of the need to use the income from the financial investment?
If the project coordinator identifies the need to use these earnings, it must be previously requested via SIGITEC for approval and amendment of the work plan. Unused earnings must be returned at the end of the Cooperation Agreement.
Why is it important for institutions to be accredited by the ANP?
Accreditation consists of the formal recognition that the institution operates in areas of relevant interest to the oil, natural gas and biofuels industry and/or related segments, such as the environment, energy and training of human resources, with recognized suitability and technological competence and possession of infrastructure and operational conditions for carrying out research and development activities related to the group of accredited services.
Accreditation is a fundamental condition for the concessionaire to be able to invest in R&D institutions in the future, as provided for in art. 4 of ANP Resolution No. 33, of 11/24/2005.
Who can be accredited?
Any institution (department, laboratory and others) belonging to entities such as universities, technological institutes and research centers, public or private established in Brazil, with proven technical and scientific competence to provide technological services in the areas of oil, natural gas and related fields, may apply for accreditation.
Do supporting foundations also need to be accredited by the ANP?
Accreditation of supporting foundations is not required, whose role is solely to manage the administrative and financial resources of the project. Its accreditation is only justified in cases where the foundation itself intends to carry out research projects and/or technological management of projects and programs.
How can I get more information about the accreditation process?
For more information, institutions should contact the Agency through the website www.anp.gov.br
Based on the Guidelines for Technological Partnerships, the “Competitive Environment”, a new environment of SIGITEC (Technology Investment Management System) was created to support the selection of new technological partnerships, having as drivers: generation of value, high competence and time-to-market.
Who is the new Environment for?
The new environment is intended for our technical agents who will be able to transform their challenges into opportunities for open innovation, through announcements to the entire technical and scientific community on the main page of SIGITEC. And, through the environment, representatives of Science and Technology Institutions (ICT) and Brazilian Companies will be able to submit proposals that meet the requirements of the opportunities presented.
