Oil production rises 19% in June compared to the same period last year, says ANP.

In June 2026, Brazil produced 5.842 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) of oil and natural gas. The data was released this Monday (3) by ANP in the Monthly Bulletin of Oil and Natural Gas Production. Regarding oil, 4.475 million barrels per day (bbl/d) were extracted, an increase of 4% compared to the previous month and 19.1% compared to the same month of 2025. Natural gas production in June was 217.35 million cubic meters per day (m³/d). There was a growth of 5.5% compared to May and 19.7% compared to June 2025.

Pre-salt

Total pre-salt production (oil + natural gas) in June was 4.788 million boe/d, corresponding to 82% of Brazilian production. Production showed a positive variation of 4.2% compared to the previous month and 24% compared to the same month of 2025. 3.699 million bbl/d of oil and 173.19 million m³/d of natural gas were produced through 198 wells.

Utilization of natural gas

In June, natural gas utilization was 97%. 64.36 million m³/d were made available to the market, with 6.63 million m³/d flaring. There was a 12.9% increase in flaring compared to the previous month, and a 10.1% increase compared to June 2025. The increase in flaring is mainly due to the commissioning of the P-79 platform in the Búzios field.

Origin of production

During the month, offshore fields produced 98.1% of the oil and 87.6% of the natural gas. Fields operated by Petrobras, alone or in consortium with other companies, accounted for 87.08% of the total produced. Production originated from 6,579 wells, 608 of which were offshore and 5,971 onshore.

Fields and facilities

In June, the Búzios field, in the pre-salt layer of the Santos Basin, was the largest oil producer, registering 1.02 million bbl/d. The Mero field, also in the Santos Basin, was the largest natural gas producer, with 48.73 million m³/d. The installations with the highest production were the FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, in the Búzios field, for oil (253,801 bbl/d); and the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias, in the Mero field, for gas (13.36 million m³/d).
