Pre-salt oil production in the last quarter of last year was 1.76 million barrels per day (MBPD), 3.4% lower than the previous quarter. According to Petrobras, the reason was the largest volume of maintenance stops in the pre-salt field of shells, partially offset by the production top of the sepetiba FPSO [navio flutuante que processa, armazena e transfere petróleo e gás] and at the beginning of production of the FPSS Maria Quiteria and Marechal Duque de Caxias.
There was also a drop in post-salt production in 2024. Production, 305 million barrels per day, had a 20% reduction compared to 2023. According to the company, this fall occurred mainly, “due to the restriction of production on platforms that returned to the operation throughout the fourth quarter, along with the natural decline of production. ”
“During the compensation, during the year, we had the ramp-up [aumento gradual da produção] From the Anna Nery platform, in addition to the entry into production of four new wells in the Campos Basin, ”the company said.
Production on land and shallow waters in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 35 million barrels per day, 3 million more than the previous quarter, due to the lower volume of maintenance stops. In 2024, land production and shallow waters was 34 MBPD, below 2023 in 9 MBPD, mainly due to divestments and the natural decline of production.
