is committed to meeting ANP requirements related to interruptions on its platforms, as revealed Sylvia dos Anjosdirector of Exploration and Production at the company. She highlighted that the year 2024 has been unusual, with an increase in both scheduled and unscheduled stoppages, which has impacted production, although it has not compromised the company’s annual planning. The interruptions in the Santos Basin were more frequent in the third quarter, but, according to the director, they did not negatively affect Petrobras’ financial results. In the period from July to September, the company achieved a profit of R$32.5 billion, demonstrating resilience even in the face of operational difficulties.
“The scheduled stops were mainly in the Santos Basin. With these scheduled shutdowns, we stopped producing 150 thousand barrels per day. But they are vital to the maintenance, longevity and safety of operations,” she said. “We had a relative impact (on production), but despite this, we managed to stay within plan within our risk analysis. We will be at 2.8 million bpd”, he added.
