"Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4), the most indebted oil company, is facing difficulties meeting its goal of doubling output by 2020, said supplier Odebrecht Oleo & Gas SA.

“Petrobras is doing what they can to mobilize gear, equipment and capex, and an enormous concentration of FPSOs are coming into production in 2014 and 2015, but is it soon enough?” Ramos told the Rio de Janeiro event. “The Petrobras balance sheet could also limit the increase of development speed."
