Achieving These Results Demonstrates Petrobras’ Commitment to Meeting Its Goals and Focusing on Deepwater and Ultra-Deepwater Assets

Petrobras announced yesterday (02/10), in a relevant market announcement, that it achieved excellent operational performance in 2021, hitting all production targets for the year. A record in the pre-salt reinforces the excellent operational results achieved. Check out the record of the following milestones reached by the Brazilian oil giant:

– Start of production of FPSO Carioca on August 23, the first platform in the Sépia field in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. In the year, 3 new producing wells were interconnected, and currently, operated production is above 130,000 bpd;

“The start-up of the first Sépia project is a milestone for all of us who work at Petrobras. It is the victory of determination, persistence, and the technical capacity of our professionals, in a challenging external scenario due to the pandemic,” says João Henrique Rittershaussen, Development and Production Director;

Petrobras Sets Annual Gas Utilization Record with 97.2% of Produced Gas

– Annual gas utilization record with a rate of 97.2% of produced gas. This record significantly contributes to emission reductions and greater carbon efficiency.

– Signing and commencement, on September 1, of the co-participation agreement for the Búzios field, which regulates the coexistence of the Onerous Assignment Contract and the Production Sharing Contract for the Excess of the Onerous Assignment for the field. Thus, it now holds 90% of the exploration and production rights of the excess volumes, excluding the share from PPSA, and 92.666% of the shared reservoir volumes;

In May 2022, the State Company’s Interests in Shared Reservoirs Will Be 65.69% for Atapu and 55.30% for Sépia.

– Acquisition, on December 17, of the exploration and production rights of the excess volumes of the Onerous Assignment in the Atapu and Sépia fields. Petrobras exercised its right to act as operator, with a 30% stake in the winning consortium for Sépia. For Atapu, in turn, the consortium will be integrated by Petrobras as the operator, with a 52.5% stake.

With the start of the Production Sharing Regime in Atapu and Sépia, scheduled for early May 2022, Petrobras’ interests in the shared reservoirs, including the shares from the Onerous Assignment Contract and the Concession Contracts, excluding the share from PPSA, will be 65.69% for Atapu and 55.30% for Sépia.

“Achieving these results demonstrates Petrobras’ commitment to meeting its goals and focusing on deepwater and ultra-deepwater assets, which have shown a significant competitive edge, producing low-cost and high-quality oil with low greenhouse gas emissions,” says Fernando Assumpção Borges, Exploration and Production Director.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.

Impacts of tensions in the Middle East: how the rise in oil prices is transforming infrastructure contracts in Brazil, raising prices, delaying schedules, and exposing billion-dollar fragility in the sector.
