Analysis · PBR · Energy & Transportation
Petrobras delivered its strongest quarter yet, with production hitting 3.34 million barrels of oil equivalent per day — a new record — and net income surging to $11.1 billion. The early start-up of the P-79 FPSO in Búzios, three months ahead of plan, drove the output gains, while refineries ran at a record 101.2% utilization, cutting import needs. Cash flow of $12.3 billion funded debt reduction to $69.8 billion gross, the lowest in years, and supported R$88.6 billion in tax payments. These results confirm the operational momentum flagged in the July production update and set a high bar for the rest of 2026.
