Pre-Salt Accounts for Almost 80% of National Oil and Gas Production, Says New ANP Bulletin.

The oil and natural gas industry in Brazil reached a significant milestone in April 2025: the highest production ever recorded in the pre-salt. According to the monthly bulletin released by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) on Tuesday (3), the country produced 3.734 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) solely from this geological layer. This performance represents a growth of 0.5% compared to March and a jump of 18.3% compared to April 2024.

This result reinforces the strategic role of the pre-salt in the Brazilian energy matrix, accounting for almost 80% of the total national production of oil and natural gas.

Pre-Salt Leads Energy Production Growth

The majority of production in April was concentrated in 164 pre-salt wells, which generated 2.896 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil and 133.33 million cubic meters per day (m³/d) of natural gas.

Natural Gas Sees an Increase of Nearly 23% in One Year

The production of natural gas in Brazil also showed significant growth, reaching 168.01 million m³/d in April — a rise of 1.5% compared to March and 22.9% compared to the same month last year. This increase underscores the importance of the input for both energy generation and the industrial sector.

Of the total produced, 55.36 million m³/d were offered to the market and 4.98 million m³/d were flared, a reduction of 13.6% compared to the previous month.

This performance was positively impacted by the commissioning of new compressors on the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, allowing the reinjection of part of the gas and reducing the need for flaring.

According to the ANP, “the main reason for the reduction compared to March was that the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré commissioned some compressors in April, allowing for the start of natural gas injection and consequently reducing its flaring.”

Offshore Fields Are Protagonists

The offshore areas continue to be the main hubs for oil and gas extraction in Brazil. In April, the offshore fields were responsible for 97.6% of the oil and 87.1% of the natural gas produced in the country.

In total, production originated from 6,505 wells, with 538 located offshore and 5,967 onshore.

Tupi Field and FPSO Guanabara Drive Production

Among the producing fields, Tupi, located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, once again stood out with the highest individual production: 783.91 thousand bbl/d of oil and 39.81 million m³/d of natural gas.

The installation with the highest performance was the FPSO Guanabara, in the shared field of Mero, which produced 184 thousand bbl/d of oil and 12.10 million m³/d of natural gas.

ANP Interactive Tool Facilitates Public Consultation

In addition to the traditional PDF version of the bulletin, the ANP offers a Business Intelligence (BI) tool for interactive data consulting. With it, it is possible to access specific information by month, field, state, or basin.

The agency emphasizes that variations in production are expected, as factors such as maintenance shutdowns, the commissioning of new wells, and technical adjustments are part of the operational routine and contribute to the stability and growth of oil and natural gas production in the country.
