Oil and natural gas production in June 2019 totaled around 3.257 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe / d), with 59.8% of production (1.966 million boe / day) coming from Pre -salt.

Oil production reached 2.557 million barrels per day (bbl / d), a decrease of 6.4% compared to the previous month, and 1.3% compared to the same month in 2018.

Natural gas production was 111 million cubic meters per day (m³ / d), down 5.8% from the previous month and 3.3% from the same month in 2018.

The main reason for the reduction in oil and natural gas production was the shutdown for maintenance of the FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba platform, operating in the Lula field.
