The previous export record for Petrobras was 771,000 barrels of oil per day, achieved last December. The state company reported that it is focusing its efforts on exporting its production after meeting domestic demand.

According to Anelise Lara, Director of Refining and Natural Gas at Petrobras, the new global specification for marine fuels, called IMO 2020, benefited the company, as it reduced the sulfur content limit in fuel oil from 3.5 percent to 0.5 percent.

“We are attentive to international movements and accessing all markets. Our low-sulfur oil maintains its value in the international market due to the specifications of IMO 2020,” the executive stated.

She also highlighted that China is the main destination for Brazilian oil, being responsible for purchasing 60 percent of the oil exported by Petrobras in the first months of this year.

Petrobras states that oil sales to foreign markets in the first quarter of this year grew by 25 percent compared to the last quarter of 2019.

In addition to China, the state company also exports oil to other Asian countries, the United States, European countries, and India.
