According to Petrobras, the hub has about 1,700 wells in operation, 19 collection stations, 12 collection points, 2 oil treatment stations, 6 collection and compression stations, 4 water injection stations, approximately 980 kilometers of gas and oil pipelines, in addition to the administrative bases of Taquipe, Santiago, Buracica, Araçás and Fazenda.

The average production of the Hub from January to August 2020 reached records of over 14,000 barrels of oil per day and 642,000 m3/day of gas. The market leader Petrobras has 100% participation in these oil fields and claims that the Southeast’s Pre-salt will become even larger with investments in ultra-deep waters.

Petrobras Accelerates Asset Sales

Between January 2019 and July 2020, Petrobras opened 48 asset sale processes to focus on the Pre-salt, an average of 2.5 per month. The number is much higher than the 1.4 per month opened during the Michel Temer government and eight times the 0.4 per month recorded during Dilma Rousseff’s second term.

The statistic, compiled by Dieese (Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies), reflects the main strategic change in the company under the leadership of economist Roberto Castello Branco, appointed by President Jair Bolsonaro to lead the state-owned company.
