Petrobras, One of the Biggest Names in the Global Energy Sector, Continues to Expand Its Legacy of Landmark Discoveries, from Pre-Salt to the Largest Gas Reserve. In Its Latest Achievement, the Company Confirmed, in Partnership with Ecopetrol, the Presence of a Gigantic Gas Reserve in Colombia, Reaffirming Its Technical Leadership and Ability to Operate in Challenging Environments.
The Discovery in Colombia by Petrobras and Ecopetrol, in the Sirius Field of Guajira Basin, is Historic. With an Estimated 6 Trillion Cubic Feet of Gas, This is the Largest Reserve Found in the Country in Three Decades, with the Potential to Double Colombian Reserves and Ensure Energy Security for Decades. Production is Expected to Start in 2029 or 2030, After Infrastructure Adjustments and Legal Issues are Resolved.
The Pre-Salt: A Game Changer for Brazil

Since 2006, When the Pre-Salt Was Discovered, Petrobras Has Transformed Brazil’s Energy Dynamics. Located in Ultra-Deep Waters, These Reserves Not Only Highlighted the High Quality of Brazilian Oil, but Also Propelled the Country to the Position of One of the World’s Largest Energy Producers. Currently, the Pre-Salt Accounts for Over 70% of National Production and Remains an Essential Strategic and Economic Asset for Brazil.
Sergipe Deep Waters: A New Natural Gas Hub
Another Milestone is the Sergipe Deep Waters Project, which Aims to Transform the Sergipe Coast into a Natural Gas Hub. The Exploration of These Reserves, Which Are Already in an Advanced Stage of Development, is Crucial to Meet the Growing Demand for Clean Energy and Increase Brazil’s Energy Self-Sufficiency.
