In June, Petrobras, a leading company in the oil sector, reached impressive numbers in its production of gasoline and S10 diesel. In addition, the company recorded a historic milestone by processing 72% of oil from the pre-salt. These positive results reflect the state-owned company's commitment to supply the demand of the national market in an efficient and sustainable way.
Sales growth drives Petrobras' performance
Thanks to the production records achieved, Petrobras managed to meet the increase in sales in June, compared to the same period of the previous year.
The numbers reveal a growth of 26% in gasoline sales, 2,9% in S10 diesel and 5,7% in aviation kerosene.

These positive results are essential for Petrobras' consolidation as the leader in the domestic fuel market.
The S10 gasoline and diesel production records were essential to supply the growing consumer demand.
With regard to gasoline, 2,01 billion liters were produced, representing the best result since 2014.
In the production of diesel S10, the volume reached 2,11 billion liters, surpassing the previous record registered in May of this year.
In addition, it is important to highlight that the Total Utilization Factor (FUT) of Petrobras refineries reached 93% in the second quarter, the best result since 2015.
The FUT considers the volume of processed oil load, in addition to the operational disposition of a refinery, remembering to respect the design limits of the equipment, the safety standards and, finally, the quality of the derivatives that were produced.
This high performance demonstrates Petrobras' commitment to ensuring the reliability, operational availability and profitability of its units.
Investments in refining show that the state-owned company is on the right path
“The reliability of the company’s refining park plant operations, together with the competence of our teams, from production planning to execution, combined with the efficiency of logistical and commercial operations, allowed us to reach this high level in processing, production and use of refineries”, revealed William França, director of Industrial Processes and Products at Petrobras.
These results demonstrate not only the increase in sales in the domestic market, but also the successful strategy followed by Petrobras in investing in refining.
In this way, the company ensures the fulfillment of its commercial commitments with efficiency, reliability and profitability.
With its record production of S10 gasoline and diesel, Petrobras strengthens its position in the domestic fuel market, reaffirming its leadership and commitment to consumer satisfaction and the pursuit of operational excellence.
