In Turn, the Company Raised Its Production Forecast for Oil and Gas for 2023.
Petrobras announced today the upward revision of its oil and gas production target for 2023. On the other hand, the investment forecast was reduced from US$ 16 billion to US$ 13 billion, still representing a 30% increase compared to 2022.
This reduction in investments is explained by the state-owned company as a reflection of lower spending on exploration and production, which were reduced from US$ 13.3 billion to US$ 11.2 billion. The company mentions the challenging scenario faced by suppliers in the post-pandemic inflationary context, influencing the ability to meet the growing demand for critical resources for the oil and gas industry.
