Brazilian oil market activity

Overview

In early June Brazil’s B3 exchange saw record trading volume for oil‑related stocks, driven by crude prices above $100 per barrel and volatility from the U.S.–Iran conflict. Corporate disclosures soon highlighted sector momentum: independent producer Prio opened a fourth well and posted an 8 % rise in daily output for June, lifting its quarterly average by more than 10 %. Goldman Sachs upgraded Brazil’s production outlook to 4.8 million barrels per day by 2028, forecasting export revenues of $47 billion and maintaining a buy recommendation on Petrobras with an expected 18 % dividend yield for 2027.

Petrobras announced a record Q2‑2026 production of 3.34 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, a 14 % year‑on‑year increase. The boost stemmed from efficiency gains on the Maria Quitéria platform, strong performance at the Jubarte, Alexandre de Gusmão, Mero and P‑78 fields, and the start‑up of the FPSO P‑79 in the Búzios field. Ten new producer wells entered operation (four in the Campos Basin, six in the Santos Basin). Export volumes rose to roughly 1 million barrels per day while oil imports fell to 89 000 bpd, the lowest level since the pandemic. Refinery utilisation reached 101.2 %, and export shares shifted—India’s share rose to 22 %, Europe’s to 18 %, China’s fell to 35 %, with new customers such as Taiwan, Oman, Poland, Sweden and South Africa added.
