How much such company actually does reduce its capex depends on its cash burn, funding gap, cost profile and access to credit. Cutting capex beyond the level to sustain production levels is normally not advisable unless doing so is highly accretive to leverage, which normally happens to high-cost producers. In the case of Petrobras, we estimate that the marginal E&P capex has a marginal leverage impact of about 4.5x with Brent of USD40/bbl, 3.5x with Brent of USD45/bbl and 2.8x with Brent of USD50/bbl. These estimates are based on the cost of about USD5bn to fully deploy and ramp up a 150kbpd pre-salt production unit (FPSO with subsea equipment and about 15-17 production/injection wells). Given the accretive nature of E&P development capex with oil above USD45/bbl, and its relevance to total capex, we then believe that Petrobras' management could be reluctant to materially reduce its plan to increase domestic production, thus limiting the prospects for capex reduction. It is thus hard to imagine a capex level smaller than USD19bn guided for 2016 in the absence of a more aggressive stance on exploration and non-E&P segments. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
