The company’s natural gas production decreased by 5.3%, totaling 121.4 million cubic meters per day of the fuel.

In February of this year, a strike by the company’s oil workers lasted 20 days. However, according to Petrobras President Roberto Castello Branco, the company did not cease producing “a single drop of oil” due to the stoppage.

Part of the decline can be explained by the reduction in the number of days in February, which had 29 compared to January’s 31 days.

Petrobras was questioned about the reason for the decrease in oil and gas production, but did not comment.

Moreover, concerning oil and gas production, 974.3 thousand barrels of oil were produced by the Lula field in February, the country’s largest oil-producing field. This figure represents a decrease of 7.4% in the extracted volume. Gas production from the field also fell by 6.25%, totaling 41.3 million cubic meters.
