Petrobras’ average oil and natural gas output in Brazil and abroad was 2,700,814 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) in February. Considering only the fields in Brazil, production added up to 2,455,636 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe).
This was 1.1% less than the total volume lifted last January due to the scheduled shutdown of the Caraguatatuba-Taubaté Gas Pipeline (Gastau); to the completion of the extended well test (EWT) of Aruanã, in the Campos Basin; and on account of the shutdown of FPWSO Dynamic Producer, which was performing the EWT at Carioca Northeast, due to a failure in the vertical production testing column.
In February, oil output exclusively from domestic fields reached 2,098,064 barrels per day, while natural gas production totaled 56,849,000 cubic meters.
The volume of oil and natural gas produced at the fields located in countries where Petrobras has operations closed February at 245,178 boed. Natural gas production abroad was 16.983 million cubic meters per day.
