In 1Q25, the average production of oil, LGN, and natural gas reached 2.77 MMboed, 5.4% above 4Q24, mainly due to the lower volume of losses from maintenance shutdowns; improved operational efficiency in the Santos Basin; the production start-up of FPSO Almirante Tamandaré in the Búzios field; and the ramp-up of FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias in the Mero field, factors partially offset by the natural decline in production. In this quarter, 11 new producing wells started operations, 6 in Campos Basin and 5 in Santos Basin.
Achieved several production records this quarter, among which the following stand out:
In 1Q25, sales of oil products in the domestic market increased 2.9% when compared to 1Q24, driven by diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel.We recorded a 73% share of pre-salt oil in refinery throughput in this quarter, 2 percentage points above 4Q24 and matching the record set in 3Q24. The high share of pre-salt oils in throughput reinforces the focus on optimizing the use of these streams for the production of higher value-added oil products and the reduction of atmospheric emissions. We achieved a high yield in the production of middle distillates (diesel and jet fuel) and gasoline, which accounted for 69% of the total volume of oil products in 1Q25, despite RNEST's significant planned shutdown this quarter, during which the modernization of Train 1 was completed.
In February 2025, Petrobras made its first sale of VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil) with 24% renewable content in the Asian market, in partnership with Golden Island, a bunker supplier in Singapore. The product is a blend of 76% mineral fuel oil and 24% UCOME, a biofuel made from waste cooking oil. Petrobras Singapore holds ISCC EU certification (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification - European Union), ensuring the sustainability of the product.
