In November 2025, Brazil produced 4.921 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) of oil and natural gas. The data were released today (Jan 5) by the ANP in its Monthly Oil and Natural Gas Production Bulletin.

Regarding oil production, 3.773 million barrels per day (bbl/d) were extracted, representing a 6.4% decrease compared to the previous month and a 13.9% increase compared to the same month in 2024.

Natural gas production in November reached 182.57 million cubic meters per day (m³/d). This represents a 6.3% decline compared to October and a 15.7% increase compared to November 2024.

Pre-salt

Total pre-salt production (oil + natural gas) in November amounted to 3.913 million boe/d, accounting for 79.6% of Brazil’s total production. Output fell by 8.5% compared to the previous month and rose by 15.6% compared to the same month in 2024.

Production totaled 3.024 million bbl/d of oil and 141.27 million m³/d of natural gas through 178 wells.

Natural gas utilization

In November, natural gas utilization reached 96.9%. A total of 61.87 million m³/d was supplied to the market, while flaring amounted to 5.71 million m³/d. Flaring increased by 5.0% compared to the previous month and declined by 8.1% compared to November 2024.

Production origin

During the month, offshore fields accounted for 97.7% of oil production and 85.7% of natural gas production. Fields operated by Petrobras, either solely or in partnership with other companies, were responsible for 89.35% of total production. Output originated from 6,082 wells, of which 539 were offshore and 5,543 onshore.

Fields and facilities

In November, the Búzios field, located in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin, was the largest oil producer, with output of 744.30 thousand bbl/d. The Mero field, also in the Santos Basin, was the largest natural gas producer, with 40.80 million m³/d.

The facilities with the highest production levels were the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, in the Búzios field, for oil (239,453 bbl/d), and the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, in the Mero field, for gas (12.83 million m³/d).

About the Oil and Natural Gas Production Bulletin

In addition to the traditional .pdf publication, bulletin data can be accessed interactively using Business Intelligence (BI) technology. This tool allows users to change the reference month, select different time periods, and apply specific filters by fields, states, and basins.

Production variations are expected and may occur due to factors such as scheduled shutdowns of production units for maintenance, wells coming on stream, well shutdowns for maintenance or cleaning, the start of commissioning of new production units, among others. These actions are typical of oil and natural gas production and aim to ensure stable and continuous operations, as well as increased production over time.
