Brazil sets new record with 5.53 million boe/d in oil and gas output

Brazil recorded its highest-ever oil and gas production in March, reaching 5.531 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d), according to data released by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels. The result surpasses the previous record of 5.304 million boe/d set in February, reports Agência Brasil.

Crude oil output totalled 4.247 million barrels per day, marking an increase of 4.6 per cent compared with the previous month and 17.3 per cent year-on-year. Natural gas production also rose, reaching 204.11 million cubic metres per day, up 3.3 per cent month-on-month and 23.3 per cent compared with March 2025.

Production from pre-salt reserves continued to play a leading role, accounting for 4.421 million boe/d, or 79.9 per cent of the country’s total output. The offshore Buzios Field remained the largest oil producer, with 886,430 barrels per day, while the Mero Field led in natural gas output, at 42.06 million cubic meters per day.

The continued expansion of production capacity reflects Brazil’s efforts to strengthen its energy sector, with authorities maintaining a focus on ensuring stable supply and supporting long-term development across the oil and gas industry.
