Pre-Salt Accounts for 79.8% of National Production in March, Highlighting the Santos Basin and Petrobras’ Role.

Oil and natural gas production in the Brazilian pre-salt reached a record high in March this year. According to the National Petroleum Agency (ANP), 3.716 million barrels of oil equivalent were produced per day. This represents 79.8% of the country’s total production during the period.

Concentrated Progress in the Santos Basin

This impressive result is mainly due to extraction in the Santos Basin. It is in this region that the largest volumes produced are concentrated. The ANP highlighted that technological and operational advancements in the sector helped achieve this new milestone.

The Tupi field led as the country’s largest producer. There were, on average, 780,000 barrels of oil per day and 39.15 million cubic meters of natural gas. This performance reinforces the importance of the pre-salt in the national energy matrix.

Mero Platforms Stand Out

Among the platforms, two stood out. The FPSO Sepetiba had the highest oil production, with 174,500 barrels daily. Meanwhile, the FPSO Guanabara led in natural gas production, with 11.5 million cubic meters per day. Both operate in the Mero field.

Another relevant piece of data was the utilization of natural gas, which reached 96.5% of the total produced. This resulted in 46.95 million cubic meters per day available to the market.

Petrobras Maintains Leadership

Petrobras continues to be the main operator, responsible for 90.2% of national production. The state-owned company operates alone or in consortium. In March, the total Brazilian production came from 6,466 wells, with 528 offshore and 5,938 onshore.

The complete bulletin was released on Monday, May 5.

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.

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.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
