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.

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

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.
