According to the regulatory agency, the country achieved an average production of 4,658 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) During this period, the relevance of the oil and gas sector to the Brazilian energy matrix and economy was reinforced.
Growth in oil production
Considering only the oil production, the volume produced in Brazil reached 3,618 million barrels per day (bpd), representing an advance of 7,8% compared to March 2024The result reflects the greater operational efficiency of the producing fields and the consolidation of projects in different producing basins.
Natural gas production registers significant growth.
The highlight of the period was… natural gas production, which showed even more significant growth. In March, production reached 165,4 million cubic meters per day, an increase in 14,9% in the annual comparison.
This progress reinforces the importance of natural gas in the context of the energy transition, in addition to expanding the supply for electricity generation, industry, and other strategic uses in the country.
Importance of data for the oil and gas sector
The figures released by the ANP indicate a scenario of Strengthening oil and gas production in BrazilThis has a direct impact on investments, operational planning, and energy security. The performance also signals opportunities for companies operating in the exploration, production, and specialized services phases of the sector.
The information was initially released by CNN Brazil, based on preliminary data from the regulatory agency.
