Petrobras informed this Monday (29) that the P74, P-75, P-76, and P-77 platforms – installed in the Búzios field – reached new production records.

Records of 664,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and 822,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day were achieved on the 27th of this month.

The Búzios field was discovered in 2010 and is the largest deepwater oil field in the world.

Production started in April 2018 through the P-74 FPSO, and the remaining units were subsequently added to the field.

For Petrobras, it is a world-class asset with substantial reserves, low risk, and low lifting cost.
