According to the statement, in the previous record, in October this year, Replan had registered 1.316.876 m³ of processed pre-salt oils, which represented 68% of the load.

Among the pre-salt oils processed in November at Replan, the Búzios, Sapinhoá, Tupi and Atapu oils stand out. Oil production from the pre-salt layer has increased considerably in recent years and has contributed to less processing of imported light oils, as pre-salt oils are lighter than oils from post-salt fields.

About Petrobras' Paulínia Refinery

Replan has the capacity to process 69 million liters of oil per day, the largest in Petrobras' refining park. The main derivatives produced are diesel, gasoline, aviation kerosene (QAV), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oils, asphalt, coke and propylene.

A production of Replan corresponds to approximately 20% of all oil refining in Brazil, processing almost all of its national oil, much of it coming from the Santos Basin (pre-salt).

The Paulínia Refinery started operating on February 2, 1972, three months before its inauguration. About 20 cubic meters of oil per day (126 barrels) were processed at that time.
