According to CVM Resolution No. 44, dated August 23, 2021, Petrobras reported that it conducted a review of its own oil and gas production guidance, as well as its CAPEX for the year 2023. The changes were motivated by the strong performance in the third quarter of 2023 and the forecasts for ramp-ups and new well entries in the fourth quarter of the same year.
Regarding total own oil and gas production, there was an increase in values, rising from 2.6 to 2.8 million boed. The commercial production of oil and gas also increased from 2.3 to 2.4 million boed, and the production of oil and LGN increased from 2.1 to 2.2 million bpd. These revisions took into account future performance forecasts, with a margin of variation of ± 2%.
As for the company’s total CAPEX, the new guidance is now set at US$ 13 billion in 2023, an increase of over 30% compared to 2022. The reduction from the initially planned US$ 16 billion is due to lower spending in the exploration and production of oil and gas, influenced by the challenging post-pandemic scenario. Despite this reduction, Petrobras assures that the planned production target for 2023 will not be compromised.
