RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - The governor of Rio de Janeiro, Luiz Fernando "Pezão" (Bigfoot), said yesterday (June 30th) that the troubled refinery, Petrochemical Complex of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Comperj), will be completed. In April O Globo reported Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras will lose at least US$14.3 billion with the Comperj refinery, nearly twelve times more than the plant is expected to earn from operations over its lifetime.
