Capital expenditures rose to $4.4 billion, reflecting a 9% increase from the previous quarter, aligning with the planned execution level for the year. Operationally, oil and NGL production increased by 5% to 2.32 million barrels per day, supported by the ramp-up of key projects and the start-up of FPSO Alexandre de Gusmão.
Strategically, Petrobras made significant strides in exploration and production, confirming a new oil discovery in the Santos Basin and acquiring exploratory blocks in the Equatorial Margin and Pelotas Basin.
