Oil and Natural Gas Production in August 2025

Oil Production and natural gas in Brazil has shown significant results, as evidenced in the Monthly Bulletin of Oil and Natural Gas Production for August 2025. This article will explore the most recent data on production, including monthly and annual variations, the fields that stand out, and the importance of pre-salt in the national supply.

With a notable increase in production and a detailed analysis of the main producing fields, we will seek to understand the trends and impacts of this fundamental sector for the Brazilian economy.

August 2025 Production Summary

In August 2025, oil and natural gas production in Brazil reached a total of 5.084 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d).

Oil production was recorded in 3.896 million barrels per day (bbl/d), presenting a monthly variation negative of 1.6% compared to July.

However, when compared to the same period in 2024, there was a notable growth of 16,6%.

This significant increase highlights the robustness and expansion of the sector.

The Búzios Field emerged as the largest oil producer, surpassing the Tupi field.

The latter, however, remained the leading producer of natural gas with a daily production of 39.15 million cubic meters.

In the pre-salt segment, production was consolidated in 4.033 million boe/d, representing 79.4% of total Brazilian production.

The importance of monitoring this data in real time is facilitated by the interactive tool available in ANP Portal, allowing personalized queries from the monthly bulletin.

Performance of Producing Fields

In August 2025, the Búzios Field ascended as the new leader in oil production in Brazil, surpassing the iconic Tupi Field for the first time.

This historic milestone occurred after Búzios reached a production of 821.88 thousand bbl/d of oil, while Tupi, despite its reduced role in the oil leadership, remained the largest producer of natural gas with a significant volume of 39.15 million m³/d.

The rise of Búzios not only highlights the competitiveness and efficiency of pre-salt extraction operations in the Santos Basin, but also signals the potential for future expansions in oil production.

This change in the podium of producing fields can be seen as a reflection of technological and operational investments made in Búzios, which boosted its extraction capacity and energy efficiency.

Furthermore, Brazil continues to consolidate itself as a relevant player in the global energy market with a total production of 5.084 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, according to the ANP report.

This evolution not only emphasizes the industry's responsiveness, but also ensures the continued relevance of both fields in the national and international energy matrix.

Relevance of Pre-Salt and Gas Utilization Index

The month of August 2025 stood out for the high relevance of pre-salt production in the Brazilian oil industry.

This segment was responsible for a significant portion of total oil and natural gas production.

With a production of 4.033 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, the pre-salt composed 79,4% of the total produced in Brazil.

This percentage not only highlights the strategic importance of pre-salt, but also underscores the continued exploration potential in this area.

Furthermore, the rate of natural gas utilization has reached a remarkable level.

The efficient use of this resource made it possible to offer 68.69 million cubic meters per day to the market, reflecting an index of 97,4% of use.

Such efficiency in the use of gas is crucial to further consolidate the country's energy infrastructure, according to information from Monthly Bulletin of Oil and Natural Gas Production for August.

These indicators highlight technological advancements in extraction and processing, ensuring Brazil's commitment to sustainable and competitive production in the global energy scenario.

Weight of Offshore Fields and Number of Wells

In August 2025, production in offshore fields demonstrated its significant weight in Brazil's oil and gas industry, representing 97,6% of oil, 85,3% of natural gas and 90,07% of total national production.

These data highlight the strategic importance of offshore operations for the Brazilian economy and are a testament to the efficiency and capacity of these fields.

When addressing the number of wells, the size of this operation is observed:

• 6.634 wells in total
• 567 seafarers

Offshore fields continue to be the backbone of production, contributing beyond mere extraction, driving technological advances and strengthening the energy sector.

According to ANP publication, the coordination and management of these resources in offshore wells are fundamental to maintaining the production rate necessary to meet global demand, in addition to guaranteeing Brazil's position in the global energy market.
