Oil and natural gas production in Brazil reached 4.921 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in November 2025. 3.773 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil were extracted, which represents a drop of 6.4% compared to the previous month and an increase of 13.9% compared to the same month in 2024.
Natural gas production stood at 182.57 million cubic meters per day (m³/d), which means a decline of 6.3% compared to October and an increase of 15.7% compared to November 2024.
The data – which is part of the Monthly Oil and Natural Gas Production Bulletin – was released this Monday (5), in Rio de Janeiro, by the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP).
Pre-salt
In the pre-salt area, oil and natural gas production in the same month was 3.913 million boe/d, which represents 79.6% of the quantity produced in Brazil.
“Production had a reduction of 8.5% compared to the previous month and growth of 15.6% compared to the same month in 2024”, informed the ANP.
Of the total, 3.024 million bbl/d are oil and 141.27 million m³/d of natural gas through 178 wells.
Utilization
According to the ANP, also in November, the use of natural gas reached 96.9%. 61.87 million m³/d were made available to the market and the burning was 5.71 million m³/d.
“There was an increase of 5.0% in burning compared to the previous month, and a reduction of 8.1% compared to November 2024”, he added.
Maritime fields
Also according to the ANP, the majority of oil production (97.7%) and natural gas (85.7%) was produced in offshore fields.
“The fields operated by Petrobras, alone or in consortium with other companies, were responsible for 89.35% of the total produced”, said the ANP, adding that the origin of production is located in 6,082 wells, 539 of which are offshore and 5,543 onshore.
Greater production
The field that produced the most oil in November 2025 was Búzios, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, which registered 744.30 thousand bbl/d. In natural gas, it was the Mero field, also in the Santos Basin, with 40.80 million m³/d.
The installations with the most oil production were the FPSO (acronym in English for floating oil and gas production, storage and transfer unit) Almirante Tamandaré, in the Búzios Field, with 239,453 bbl/d); and for gas, the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, in the Mero field, with 12.83 million m³/d.
