Petrobras’ Investment Plan Foresees a Renewal of the Campos Basin by 2027. Over US$ 18 Billion Will Be Allocated to New Production Units and Well Drilling.
Petrobras recently announced an ambitious US$ 18 billion investment plan until 2027 for the renewal and expansion of the Campos Basin. The amount will be allocated to the installation of six stationary production units and the creation of more than 200 wells. Aligned with the energy transition and committed to sustainability, the plan also highlights the arrival of the innovative all-electric FPSO Maria Quitéria and the exploration of offshore wind energy.
New Petrobras Investment Plan Promises to Transform the Campos Basin
Petrobras, a giant in the national energy sector, revealed an audacious investment plan for the complete renewal of the Campos Basin by 2027.
With an investment of US$ 18 billion, the company aims to revitalize this important area for oil and gas exploration.

Big techs plan US$ 635 billion in AI data centers by 2026, but the crisis in the Middle East threatens investments, and Brazil is betting on natural gas to attract megacomplexes of up to 1,500 MW in Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná.

FPSO P-78 begins operations in the pre-salt of Búzios with 180,000 barrels/day, ROTA 3 pipeline, 13 smart wells, and CO₂ reinjection, while the field already produces 1 million barrels per day and generated R$ 81 billion in royalties in 2025.
A crucial part of the plan is the installation of six new stationary production units (UEPs) and the creation of more than 200 extraction wells.
This significant expansion will strengthen production capacity and contribute to Brazil’s energy future.
Given the urgency of the global energy transition, Petrobras also emphasizes its environmental commitment in the new plan.
The launch of the all-electric FPSO Maria Quitéria in the Jubarte field, in Espírito Santo, is a clear example of this approach. The combined cycle technology of this FPSO will reduce CO2 emissions by over 5 million tons throughout the UEP’s operation.
The Executive Manager of Deep Waters, Paulo Marinho, shared these exciting details during the event “Investment Opportunities in Espírito Santo” at MEC Show 2023.
Petrobras Plans to Invest in Oil Exploration in Espírito Santo with New Plan
Petrobras recognizes the importance of Espírito Santo as one of the main oil and gas production hubs in the country, with milestones such as the drilling of the first offshore well and the pioneering extraction of oil in the pre-salt.
Thus, even with over 40 years of presence in the Campos Basin, the company is committed to the ongoing search for new sources of oil.
The investment plan also includes the modernization of transportation infrastructure, with an emphasis on expanding the network of pipelines, gas pipelines, and optical meshes.
In addition to the investment plan in the Campos Basin, Petrobras continues exploring opportunities in new exploratory blocks.
Combining synergies with existing facilities and a forward-thinking mindset, the company demonstrates its resilience and strategic vision.
The amount of US$ 18 billion outlined in Petrobras’ new investment plan marks the beginning of a new era in oil and gas exploration in the Campos Basin.
With a vision focused on sustainability and innovation, the company will not only strengthen its position as a leader in the sector but will also contribute to the transformation of the national and global energy landscape.
