This represents a 4.3% reduction compared to the previous month and a 9.5% increase compared to October 2022. A total of 2.722 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil and 114.23 million cubic meters per day (m³/d) of natural gas were produced through 148 wells.

About the Oil and Gas Production Bulletin

In addition to the traditional .pdf publication, it is possible to interactively access the bulletin's data using Business Intelligence (BI) technology. The tool allows users to change the reference month for information, as well as select different periods for consultation and apply specific filters for fields, states, and basins.

Variations in production are expected and may occur due to factors such as scheduled maintenance shutdowns of production units, well startups, well shutdowns for maintenance or cleaning, commissioning of new production units, among others. Such actions are typical in oil and natural gas production and aim for stable and continuous operation, as well as an increase in production over time.
