Oil Production of PetroReconcavo Declines in December. See What Has Changed in Assets and the Impacts on the Economy of Brazil.

The oil production of PetroReconcavo showed a slight decline in December, according to data released by the company on Thursday night, the 8th, detailing the volumes produced and delivered in the last month of 2025 in Brazil, a movement that reflects specific operational adjustments but maintains a positive annual trajectory with relevant impacts on the economy.

According to the company, the consolidated average production in December reached 25 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/day). This volume represents a decrease of 0.7% compared to the previous month, even though the annual performance indicates operational stability and moderate growth compared to the previous year.

Despite the monthly retreat, the result does not alter the company’s strategy. Throughout 2025, PetroReconcavo recorded an annual average production of 26.5 thousand boe/day, which corresponds to an increase of 0.7% compared to 2024.

Oil Production Reflects Scheduled Shutdowns and Operational Compensations

The slight reduction observed in December occurred mainly due to a scheduled shutdown for maintenance at the Potiguar Asset. This type of interruption is part of operational planning and aims to ensure safety, efficiency, and a longer lifespan for the assets.

Nonetheless, the company managed to mitigate some of this impact. The production increase at the Bahia Asset helped balance the total volumes, preventing a more pronounced decline in the oil production for the month.

This operational balance demonstrates PetroReconcavo’s ability to manage different productive fields in an integrated manner, a strategy deemed essential to sustain consistent results in the oil and gas sector in Brazil.

Potiguar Asset Registers Monthly Decline in Oil Production

At the Potiguar Asset, average production reached 12.2 thousand boe/day in December. This volume represents a decrease of 2.1% compared to the previous month, directly reflecting the effects of the scheduled maintenance shutdown.

Of this total, oil production was 7.9 thousand barrels per day (bbl/day). Meanwhile, natural gas production amounted to 4.3 thousand boe/day, maintaining a relevant share in the energy composition of the asset.

Even with the occasional reduction, the Potiguar Asset remains one of PetroReconcavo’s operational pillars, significantly contributing to the company’s productive portfolio.

Bahia Asset Sustains Growth and Balances December Results

On the other hand, the Bahia Asset showed positive performance in December. The average production at the site reached 12.8 thousand boe/day, an increase of 0.7% compared to the previous month.

At this asset, oil production totaled 6.4 thousand bbl/day. Meanwhile, natural gas production also reached 6.4 thousand boe/day, highlighting a balance between the two products.

This growth played a key role in partially offsetting the decline recorded at the Potiguar Asset. Thus, the Bahian operation reinforced its strategic importance within the company.

PetroReconcavo Maintains Strategy Focused on Efficiency and Economy

The release of the December data reinforces PetroReconcavo‘s commitment to prioritizing operational efficiency and capital discipline. Even amidst specific adjustments, the company remains focused on production stability and sustainable growth.

In the context of the economy of Brazil, the company’s oil production exerts significant influence, especially in producing regions, by generating jobs, tax revenue, and ongoing investments in the energy sector.

Furthermore, maintaining annual production growth signals resilience in the face of operational fluctuations common in the oil and gas industry.

Perspectives for Oil Production in Brazil

With the completion of the scheduled maintenance, market expectations are for normalization of volumes in the coming months. Thus, PetroReconcavo is expected to resume higher production levels, especially at the Potiguar Asset.

Meanwhile, the consistent performance of the Bahia Asset reinforces the operational diversification of the company. This factor reduces risks and contributes to greater predictability of results.

In this way, the oil production of PetroReconcavo remains a relevant indicator to follow the direction of the company, the energy sector, and the economy of Brazil, especially in a scenario of seeking stability and sustainable growth.
