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.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
