Brazil’s Petrobras expects to bring online two FPSOs with total production capacity of 280,000 bbl/d in the second half of 2024, the state-owned company said in its second-quarter 2024 performance report.
Petrobras produced 2.16 MMbbl/d in the second quarter 2024, and it targeting an average 2.2 MMbbl/d for the year. The additional offshore production will help offset Petrobras’ natural field declines, potentially enabling it to hit production targets.
New production in the second half of 2024 will come from the Marechal Duque de Caxias FPSO (Petrobras, 38.6% interest), which will add 180,000 bbl/d and the Maria Quitéria FPSO, which will add 100,000 bbl/d (Petrobras, 100%), the company said it its report.
