Petrobras increases yoy output in 2Q of 2024

Brazil's State-run company Petrobras posted this week a 2.4% interannual increase in oil and natural gas output in the second quarter of 2024, with 2.7 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) thanks to improving performances at five sea platforms and 12 wells, eight of them in the Campos Basin and four in the Santos one. However, compared to this year's first quarter of this year, average production fell 2.8% due to maintenance shutdowns and the natural decline of mature fields.
