According to data from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels – ANP, in January, Petrobras saw an 8.1% increase in its oil and gas production. The growth in January halted four consecutive months of decline for the state-owned company in operational data due to the concentration of platforms planned to be shut down in the second half of 2020.

In January, Petrobras produced 2.140 million barrels of oil per day and 97.878 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. Compared to December, oil production last month grew by 7.9% and natural gas production increased by 8.8%.

Production Calculation:
ANP and Petrobras use different methods to calculate oil production – for example, the state-owned company considers liquids in natural gas, while the agency includes condensate but does not include shale oil produced in São Mateus, Paraná. In any case, the regulators’ data can provide a good indication of expectations for state-owned companies’ quarterly production reports.
