Review – Petrobras Raised Its Production Level from April to 2.26 Million Barrels of Oil Per Day

The Petrobras has revised the value of its production forecast for April this year. Previously, the company had announced its intention to reduce its production to 2.07 million barrels of oil per day.

Now, the company has revised the O&G market scenario and raised its production to 2.26 million barrels of oil per day.

The decision to reduce production is due to the decline in global oil demand because of the coronavirus.
