en.Wedoany.com Reported - Petrobrás announced on the 24th that the Búzios field, located in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin, set a record on the 23rd with an average daily output of 1.1 million barrels of oil, surpassing the previous record of 1 million barrels per day set in October 2025.

Petrobrás CEO Magda Chambriard stated that this milestone marks an important phase of accelerated production at Búzios, with further growth expected in the future. The company continues to connect new wells and increase output from the P-78 and P-79 platforms. She noted that Búzios is Petrobrás's most promising field.

Currently, production at the field is carried out by eight platforms, including P-74, P-75, P-76, P-77, P-78, P-79, and the Almirante Barroso and Almirante Tamandaré floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units. Among these, the Almirante Tamandaré is the largest-capacity platform in Brazil, with a daily processing capacity of up to 270,000 barrels of oil. The P-78 and P-79 platforms are the most recent additions to the production system and are currently in a ramp-up phase, gradually increasing to their respective maximum capacities of 180,000 barrels per day.

The field's development plan is expected to operate 12 FPSO units. Currently, the P-80, P-82, and P-83 FPSO units are under construction, while the Búzios 12 platform is in the bidding phase.

Renata Baruzzi, Petrobrás's Director of Engineering, Technology, and Innovation, emphasized that through management strategies, engineering, and innovative technologies, the company has successfully accelerated production at Búzios, contributing to such records. These technologies enable platforms to be shipped from shipyards earlier, arriving at the field sooner, while the field is prepared in advance for their reception.

As Brazil's largest oil-producing field and the field with the largest reserves, Búzios currently accounts for approximately 30% of all oil production operated by Petrobrás in Brazil (considering partner shares). In terms of the company's own share alone, the field represents nearly half of the state-owned enterprise's total output.
