REUTERS/ FORXYARD.COM/ Petrobras is not planning to slow tapping its massive deep water reserves. It already tightened safety regulations following a major disaster in 2001.

In 2001, Petrobras' P-36 offshore platform exploded and killed 11. It sank off Rio five days later, spilling 10,000 barrels of fuel and crude into the Atlantic.
