Normalmente sugeririria "operating as an oil company", mas o texto fala em Operadora e quero evitar repetir...

See my suggestion for the whole sentence
The Portuguese is ponderous and repetitive, and it can be expressed much more simply in English.
My translation may need tweaking, depending on what it says before and after this.
By the way, you shouldn't capitalise common nouns like oil company, history, and activity.

to act as (an Oil Production Operator)
petrolífera > again, oil producing, Collins vs. acting as 'Oily Operator'. So please wise up.
Production Operator means the company responsible for the direct or indirect oversight and execution of all Crude Oil production and delivery activities as defined in the applicable lifting agreement.

: No. Oil producer. Simple as that.The bottom sentence of your "explanation" is truly bizarre.Your suggestion sounds like it's the function of a single individual, which isn't the case here.

There you go Phil! There's the tweak your version needed!

: I agree about ignoring "exercising the function of". But your version is wrong - it's "by citizens", not "by the citizens". The company is privately owned by Angolans.

By citizens, by ITS citizens , probably better. But my version is more succinct.
