Petrobras Agency

Petrobras set its annual pre-salt production record in 2021, reaching 1.95 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed). This volume corresponds to 70% of the company's total production, which was 2.77 million boed last year. The previous record was set in 2020, when the 1.86 million boed mark was reached, representing 66% of Petrobras' total production.

Petrobras' production in the pre-salt has been growing rapidly, and the record recorded in 2021 represents more than double the volume we produced in this layer 5 years ago. With the maintenance of the focus of its activities on assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, Petrobras will continue to invest in accelerating the development of pre-salt fields, which have high productivity, greater resilience to low oil prices and more carbon efficiency. generating competitive oil in the transition to a low carbon economy.

In the period of the Strategic Plan 2022-26, US$ 57 billion will be invested in the E&P segment, with 67% of this total in the pre-salt layer, which will receive 12 of the 15 new platforms scheduled to come into operation in this period and which should be responsible for 79 % of the company's total production in 2026.
