Many of these numbers are due to the production from the Pre-salt, which contributed to the current record, as there was a 6.4% increase compared to April and a 14.5% increase compared to the same period last year.

In May, the Pre-salt represented 60.7% of the total produced in Brazil, with 1.64 million barrels per day of oil and 68.7 million cubic meters per day of natural gas, or a total of 2.106 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

According to the results released by ANP, Brazilian Oil comes from 7,107 wells, with 642 offshore and 6,465 onshore, with Petrobras responsible for 94.4% of oil and natural gas production.

The largest producing well was the Lula field in the Santos Basin, which produced an average of 910 thousand barrels of oil per day (bbl/d) and 39.1 million cubic meters of natural gas per day (m³/day).
