Brazilian Oil Closes 2020 With New Record! Petrobras Registered 2.28 Million Barrels Per Day, With Pre-Salt Production As Its Biggest Ally

Despite all the chaos that the oil industry faced in 2020, with barrel prices going negative, the Brazilian state-owned oil company closed the last year with a new production record, reaching 2.28 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil and 2.84 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), the company reported in a relevant fact last night (12/07).

According to Petrobras’ statement, the previous records occurred in 2015 and were 2.23 million bpd of oil and 2.79 million boed.

In the report, Petrobras states that the current production records are supported by a portfolio of higher value assets. Pre-salt production totaled 1.86 million boed in 2020, representing 66% of the state-owned company’s total production. In 2015, this pre-salt production corresponded to 24% of the company’s total production.

Petrobras Informs That the Record Oil Production in 2020 Was Due to the Following Factors:

Production Above the Nominal Processing Capacity at the Búzios Field, Due to Greater Temporary Availability of Power Generation and Gas Compression on the Platforms in That Field;
Fewer Interventions to Combat Corrosion from CO2 in the Subsea Gas Injection Pipelines, Due to the Development of New Inspection Tools and Technologies;
Lower Production Decline Observed in the Tupi and Sapinhoá Fields, Due to Improved Reservoir Performance; and
Greater Production Efficiency and Optimization of Production Shutdowns on the Platforms, Despite the Operational Restrictions Caused by the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“The records demonstrate good operational performance even in the challenging 2020 scenario, with greater focus on world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, where Petrobras has shown a significant competitive advantage”, concludes Petrobras.

With more than 635,000 doctors, Brazil sees competition increasing in large cities, and recent graduates are competing for shifts at an accelerated pace while the countryside still faces shortages.

What can really trigger large volcanic eruptions? Research suggests that gas returning to the magma may be more dangerous than gas escaping from it.

Goodbye expensive popular car: electric vehicle for less than R$ 70,000 starts being sold in Brazil with a range of 200 km and targets those looking to escape gasoline.

With an investment of R$ 612 million, a capacity to process 1.2 million liters of milk per day, Piracanjuba inaugurates a mega cheese factory that increases national production, reduces dependence on imports, and repositions Brazil on the global dairy map.

USA and China compete for Brazil over resources that could be worth trillions — rare earths put the country at the center of a global dispute

Motorola launched the Signature with a gold seal from DxOMark, tying with the iPhone 17 Pro in camera performance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that surpassed 3 million in benchmarks, and a zoom that impresses even at night.

Satellites reveal beneath the Sahara a giant river buried for thousands of kilometers: study shows that the largest hot desert on the planet was once traversed by a river system comparable to the largest on Earth.

The government requests the Federal Revenue Service for a new system to automate the income tax declaration, reducing errors, time, and bureaucracy for millions of Brazilians.

With 74% of companies facing difficulties in hiring, technicians and engineers in renewable energy are becoming scarce in Brazil and are essential to support the expansion of solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects.
