The Brazilian oil giant Petrobras, leader in the energy sector in Brazil, held a Public Hearing in Maricá yesterday (08/05), with the aim of boosting gas production and disposal activities in the Santos Basin pre-salt layer.

It is worth remembering that Petrobras recently announced the discovery of new gas reserves in the Santos Basin pre-salt. This discovery reinforces the region's economic potential and the strategic importance of gas production and disposal activities in the area.
