Fossil Energy – Tupi Field
Petrobras has been producing one million barrels of oil per day at its offshore Tupi field since Friday, according to Magda Chambriard, the company’s CEO, who told Reuters on Tuesday.
This achievement is the result of Petrobras’ efforts to increase production at the declining oil field, which was once Brazil’s largest.
She added that Petrobras now has two giant oil fields with the potential to produce more than 1 million barrels per day: Tupi and Buzios. Both are located in the country’s pre-salt Santos Basin, off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
The company connected 11 wells to production vessels in the Tupi field in 2025.
Petrobras is also looking into building more wells and putting a new floating production vessel in Tupi by 2031.
