Petrobras’ average oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production grew by 5% in Q2 2025, reaching 2.91 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The increased performance was mainly attributed to the ramp-up of FPSOs in the Búzios, Jubarte, Marlim and Voador fields; the peak production of the Marechal Duque de Caxias field, and the entry into production of the FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão in the Mera field.
In Q2, 14 new production wells came into operation; seven in the Campos Basin and seven in the Santos Basin. The FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão marked the fifth platform in the Mera field within the Santos Basin and began operations on 24 May, 2025, in a major step forward in Brazil’s production from the pre-salt layer. The gas injection also began in 25 June, 2025. The platform has the capacity to produce 180,000 barrels of oil per day, in addition to compressing and reinjecting 12 million cubic metres of gas per day.
The FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias entered production on 30 October, 2024, in the Mero field, reached peak production on 19 May by producing 180,000 barrels of oil per day. In total, the unit will have 15 wells.
Last month the P-78 platform vessel left the Singapore shipyard and is en-route to Brazil, where production start-up is scheduled for the second half of the year. The platform will be the seventh until to be installed in the Búzios field in the Santos Basin pre-salt layer, with a production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day, in addition to compressing up to 7.2 million cubic metres of gas per day.
Petrobras has achieved serval production records this quarter, including total operated production in Q2 2025 of 4.19 MMboed (previous record was 4.05 MMboed in Q4 2023; total own pre-salt production at 2.39 MMboed (previous record 2.33 MMboed in Q4 2023); and the Mero field platforms broke the operated production marks of 600,000 bpd of oil on 6 July, 2025.
