The Largest Refinery of Petrobras, Replan, Ends 2020 with a Record of Processing Pre-Salt Oils
Petrobras reported in a relevant fact this morning (01/12) that its largest refinery, Replan (Paulínia Refinery), faced the oil crisis caused by the coronavirus and achieved a new record in December for processing pre-salt oils, reaching a total of 10,436,207 m³.
Among the pre-salt oils processed in November at Replan, the highlights are Búzios, Sapinhoá, Tupi, and Atapu oils. The production of oil from the pre-salt layer has significantly increased in recent years and contributed to reduced processing of imported light oils, as pre-salt oils are lighter than oils from post-salt fields.
According to Petrobras, in addition to the volumetric record of pre-salt oil, Replan also recorded in 2020 the highest percentage of these oils in relation to the fresh load processed, at 58.7%. In 2019, this index was 49.4% at the refinery.
