Petrobras obtains approval from Ibama to increase production by 115,000 barrels/day on 6 platforms.
Petrobras has obtained permission from the Brazilian federal environmental agency Ibama to expand the capacity of six oil production platforms by a total of 115,000 barrels per day (bpd), the company announced on Thursday in a presentation published to the market.
The impact of this expansion on Petrobras will contribute to an increase of 90,000 bpd in its production capacity as a concessionaire, since the company has partners in these units.
Among the six floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels that saw an increase in capacity is the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, in the Búzios field, which went from 225,000 bpd to 270,000 bpd.
The company's commitment to increasing production contributed to record oil exports in the third quarter and profit growth during the period, despite the decline in oil prices throughout the year.
