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.

Oil production grows in Rio, but reserve replacement raises a warning sign

Petrobras is expected to complete the drilling of the Morpho well in the Foz do Amazonas in August 2026, the first well in the Equatorial Margin, an oil frontier that the ANP estimates at more than 30 billion barrels and could redraw the map of Brazil.
