National Oil Production Grows in May, with Pre-Salt Platforms Leading and FPSO Guanabara at the Top of the Ranking.

Brazil recorded a new record in national oil and natural gas production in May 2025. According to data released by the National Agency of Oil, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP), 4.763 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) were produced at oil platforms, of which 3.679 million corresponded solely to oil.

The increase, which represents a growth of 1.3% compared to April and 10.9% in comparison with the same month in 2024, reinforces the strength of the oil platforms operating in the country.

Once again, the highlight was the pre-salt fields, which accounted for 79.8% of national production. Located in ultra-deep waters, these fields delivered a record volume of 3.803 million boe/d, consolidating the region as the main hub of the Brazilian offshore industry.

Pre-Salt Leads National Oil and Gas Production

The performance of the pre-salt was driven by both the extraction of oil (2.943 million barrels per day) and the production of natural gas (136.75 million cubic meters per day).

The growth of 1.8% compared to April and 14.8% on an annual basis shows the efficiency of the platforms installed in the country’s most promising fields.

Furthermore, this result reinforces the importance of continuous investments in technology and infrastructure to sustain production growth.

FPSO Guanabara Remains the Most Productive Oil Platform

Among the oil platforms in operation, FPSO Guanabara maintained its lead as the unit with the highest production in Brazil. Installed in the Mero field, the FPSO recorded 183,948 barrels of oil per day and 12.135 million m³ of natural gas, totaling 260,272 boe/d in May.

Next in the ranking are FPSO Sepetiba, with 248,866 boe/d, and FPSO Almirante Barroso, with 186,643 boe/d, both also located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin.

High Production Reinforces the Strategic Role of Oil Platforms

The significant growth in production reaffirms the strategic role of oil platforms for the energy matrix and the Brazilian economy. With the pre-salt maintaining robust performance, the expectation is that new projects and units will continue to expand national capacity.

This positive trend points to a scenario of strengthening the sector and amplifies Brazil’s prominence in the global oil and gas market.

A “silent skill” is allowing Brazilians to earn up to R$ 22,000 per month without a degree and become indispensable for companies that rely on millions of data to survive.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Spain surprises the world by erecting 62 artificial dunes, mixing sand with natural remains of posidonia, and causing the structure to lose only 1.4% of its volume in 1 year.

Researchers at the Toyota Research Institute found that if a human uses robotic arms to flip a pancake 300 times in an afternoon, the robot learns to do it on its own the next morning, and this is currently the most promising method to solve the biggest bottleneck in modern robotics.

Goodbye iron: a common item in households is starting to lose space to technology that smooths clothes in minutes without an ironing board and with less energy consumption.

With 16 Bulava missiles, improvements in acoustic stealth, and a design focused on silent patrols, Russia’s nuclear submarine was born to ensure Moscow’s invisible retaliation and has become one of the pillars of its maritime strength.
