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.
