Petrobras has been coordinating the atmospheric distillation unit’s pre-operational procedures since
September 22. In this period, the unit’s operational systems have been tested with safe fluids (including
water, compressed air, nitrogen and steam) to guarantee the systems’ safety before hydrocarbons
are introduced into them.

The start-up process will continue with the activation of the other units that make up Rnest’s first train:
the hydrogen generation unit, naphtha hydro-treating unit, diesel hydro-treating unit, delayed coking
unit, and two treatment units.
