In a Series of Meetings with the Governor of Bahia, Jerônimo Rodrigues, Deputies, and Mayors on Monday (03/13), the President of Petrobras, Jean Paul Prates, Confirmed that the Company is Taking the Necessary Measures to Restart Production at the Bahia Terra Hub by April.

After the suspension of operations at the end of last year at the request of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), Petrobras has been adhering to a proposed schedule to resume production and expedite responses to regulatory requests, and the Bahia Terra Hub would be one of them.

What Petrobras Says About the Bahia Terra Hub

For the President of Petrobras, the idea is to initiate the project as early as April. “The production of assets in our onshore operations was interrupted by regulatory action from the ANP, which was not an action by Petrobras. This month, we will finalize all of the Agency’s requirements to resume production at the Bahia Terra Hub by early April. We will resume production, and it is important for the municipalities; it is important to maintain jobs because it is important for Petrobras,” he said.

Furthermore, Prates mentioned that he took the opportunity during his visit to Bahia to see the facilities of the Torre Pituba complex, one of the administrative buildings in Salvador. The building, which houses over 5,000 employees, has 22 floors and an auxiliary space, and is expected to resume operations soon.

After the heavy rains that hit the coast of São Paulo, Petrobras resumed last week the pumping of oil through the OSBAT pipeline, which connects the terminals of Cubatão and São Sebastião in the state of São Paulo, after almost a year of inactivity, the company reported in a report months later.

Petrobras also noted that the OSBAT was not compromised and can be safely restored. During the interruption of the pipeline, Petrobras emphasized that the Presidente Bernardes (RPBC) and Capuava (RECAP) refineries are supplied by the Santos terminal, with no impact on market services.

Brazil could become a global oil powerhouse with reserves jumping from 17 billion to 23.5 billion barrels, investments of US$ 30 billion per year, and exploration in the Equatorial Margin that could extend Brazilian production until 2042.

While Brazil discussed the transition, Petrobras unlocked 11 new platforms in the pre-salt until 2027 — Búzios alone receives 6 FPSOs and targets 1 million barrels/day.
