Oil and Gas

In May, the state produced 2.18 million barrels per day in Brazil. At the pre-salt level alone, the company reached 1.57 million barrels

Average oil production in Brazil reached 2.18 million barrels per day (bpd) in May, a volume 3.9% higher than in April. The information is from Petrobras and was released on Monday (19).

According to the company, the total production of oil and gas was 2.80 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), with 2.68 million produced in Brazil and 120 thousand abroad. The result is mainly due to the start of production of another project, in the southern Lula field, in the Santos Basin, through the P-66 platform.

In addition, this performance was influenced by the return to production of platforms P-37 (Marlim field, in the Campos Basin) and FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis (Lula field), as well as by the entrance of a new producing well in the field Of Marlim Sul, in the Campos Basin.

Pre-salt

In the pre-salt period, Petrobras' production of oil and natural gas also increased, reaching 1.57 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, 5.1% more than in the previous month.
