We completed 10 years of production in the pre-salt cluster, reaching the mark of 1,500,000 barrels of oil lifted there per day (bpd). From the first oil extracted from the pre-salt in September 2008, in the Jubarte field, in the Capixaba portion of the Campos Basin, to the volume of 1,500,000 bpd achieved this year, we made a leap in our results in that layer. Just six years after the first oil, we reached the 500,000-barrel-per-day mark and, after eight years, the first million. (9/4/2018)
To improve our security-related processes, we not only undertake preventive actions, but also reinforce the handling of deviations and incidents. Providing different types of training to our workforce is among the important initiatives we use to achieve these objectives and boost safety in our operations. This year we surpassed our top metric of the Recordable Accidents Rate (RAR), anticipating the attainment of this indicator compared with our strategic planning.
The production of oil operated in the Brazilian pre-salt cluster surpassed 1 million barrels per day. This result, achieved fewer than ten years after these deposits were discovered, proves both the technical and economic feasibility of the pre-salt and its high productivity. (5/8/2016).
Seven years after the first oil discovery in the pre-salt layer, we reached the 300,000-barrel-of-oil-per-day mark.(2/20/2013).
Less time than it took for the same level to be reached in other major offshore production areas around the world. (2/20/2013).
We got production underway at the FPSO Cidade de Anchieta vessel platform, in the Baleia Azul field.
This platform is capable of processing up to 100,000 barrels of oil and 3.5 million cubic meters of gas per day.
The oil and gas discoveries off the Brazilian pre-salt coast bring a new horizon for the oil industry worldwide. Parallelly, we have created a series of strategic actions that ensure the development of the entire goods and services chain, bringing technology, job training and great opportunities to the industry.

In the midst of the oil crisis, we discovered the Campos Basin.
Located off the northern coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro and ranging all the way to southern Espírito Santo. A few years later, it becomes the biggest oil province in Brazil, accounting for upwards of 80% of the domestic oil production.
The P-I was built as a mobile drilling rig and was able to operate in water of up to 30 meters deep. It was the one that discovered the first oil field in the Brazilian continental shelf, offshore Sergipe, in 1969, giving rise to Guaricema field.
Our Research and Development Center (Cenpes) is created in Rio de Janeiro.
A few years later, it becomes one of the most important applied research complexes in the world.
REDUC - the Duque de Caxias Refinery - is founded in Rio de Janeiro.
It is currently the most complete refinery in operation in our system.
