Petrobras reports record production and P-78 platform capacity

Petrobras has reached a significant operational milestone with the P-78 platform in the Búzios 6 project achieving its nominal capacity of 180,000 barrels of crude oil per day as of October 31. The company also confirmed a third discovery in the Foz do Amazonas basin following the drilling of the Morpho well.

In terms of production, the company reported that oil, gas, and natural gas liquids production reached 3.51 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter of 2026, an 11.7% increase compared to the previous year. Crude and derivative exports also hit a historical high of 1.25 million barrels per day.

Regarding logistics, Petrobras plans to import 600 million liters of diesel during November to rebuild inventories following scheduled refinery maintenance. While this volume is lower than the 650 million liters imported in October, it remains above the annual average. Company officials expect refinery operations to remain near maximum technical capacity through the end of the year.
