Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (NYSE: PBR), or Petrobras, has cut its oil production growth target for 2010 by 30%, from 440,000 new barrels/day to 336,000 barrels/day. The company cites a delay in construction of a production ship as the cause of the production cut.

She was promoted to the CEO job for her operational experience and ability to get things done. She faces a multitude of challenges as Petrobras seeks to exploit the country’s huge offshore oil deposits.
