Petrobras Reported That Total Oil And Gas Production, Including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), In August 2018, Was 2.47 Million Barrels Of Oil Equivalent Per Day (boed), A Decrease Compared To July.

Petrobras reported that, of the 2.47 million boed produced in August, 2.35 million boed were produced in Brazil and 116 thousand boed were produced abroad. The production in August is a decrease compared to July 2018, when the company produced 2.60 million boed. The total production made by the company (Petrobras and partner participation) was 3.15 million boed, with 2.99 million boed in Brazil.

The company added that the reduced production was mainly due to planned maintenance shutdowns on the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis and the FPSO Cidade de Maricá, both located in the Lula field, in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin.

Production was also influenced by maintenance shutdowns on the P-25 and P-31 platforms, located in the Albacora field, in the post-salt layer of the Campos Basin, and by the continuation of the shutdown of the Mexilhão platform.

Petrobras stated that it has maintained its commitment to the production target disclosed in the 2018-2022 Business and Management Plan, considering the ramp-up production of the platforms that have already entered operation this year, such as the P-74 in the Búzios field, and FPSO Cidade de Campos, in the Tartaruga Verde and Mestiça fields, as well as the start of production for new systems planned for the fourth quarter of 2018.
