Strong Production Growth
Total oil production increased 11% in 2025 versus 2024, driven by pre-salt ramp-ups and operational efficiency improvements (decline rates reduced from ~12% to ~4%), with efficiency gains contributing ~100,000 barrels/day equivalent.
Pre‑salt Field Milestones
Buzios platforms surpassed 1,000,000 barrels/day in October 2025; Atapu and Sépia reached 1,000,000 barrels/day by December 31, 2025 — resulting in two pre‑salt fields producing >1 million bpd each.
Refining Performance and Premium Product Mix
Refinery utilization averaged ~91–92% in 2025 (guidance to 95% early 2026); ~68–70% of refinery output composed of higher‑value products (diesel, gasoline, QAV). Domestic byproduct sales were 1,747,000 barrels/day (+1.43% YoY); diesel sales +5.2% YoY; QAV (aviation fuel) sales +6% YoY (best in 6 years).
Robust Financial Results Despite Lower Brent
Average Brent was $69/bbl in 2025 (-14% YoY) yet Petrobras delivered adjusted EBITDA of $42.5 billion (or $43.8 billion including special events) roughly in line with the prior year; operating cash flow of $36 billion and net income of ~$19.6 billion (excluding non‑cash/exclusive events).
Reserve Additions and Replacement
Incorporated ~1.7 billion barrels of proven reserves in 2025, achieving the highest proven reserves level in 10 years with a reserve replacement rate of ~175% despite record production.
Focused Investment in E&P
Total investment >$20 billion in 2025 (+22% vs 2024) with 84% allocated to Exploration & Production (~$17 billion), including a record tie‑in of 77 wells (previous top was 57) to accelerate production delivery.
Export and Logistics Strength
Average oil exports in 2025 were 675,000 bpd; exports in Q4 averaged ~999,000 bpd (just shy of 1 million). Notable operational achievements include P‑79 anchoring (record 12 days with 26 anchors) and increased gas processing capacity at Boaventura to 21 million m3/day.
Progress on Low‑Carbon Fuels
Initiated SAF production at Duque de Caxias and Henrique Lage refineries; launched contracts for SAF/green diesel plant at Presidente Bernardes; sold bunker fuel with 24% renewable content to the Asian market — early commercial traction for renewable content products.
Capital Return and Socioeconomic Impact
Board approved payout of BRL 8.1 billion (BRL 0.62/share) paid in two installments; distributed ~BRL 45 billion in dividends in the period; paid ~BRL 277 billion in taxes/royalties; investments supported ~300,000 jobs and ~BRL 2 billion in social/environmental spending.
Operational Execution and Ramp‑ups
Accelerated ramp‑up of platforms (P‑78 gas injection record; P‑79 moored and soon to operate), targeted sailaways for P‑80, P‑82, P‑83 in 2026–2027 — demonstrating ability to execute large projects on accelerated timelines.
