Sao Paulo — Brazil’s state oil firm Petroleo Brasileiro SA said on Friday total second-quarter oil and gas production was 2.633 million barrels per day of oil equivalent, up 3.8% from the previous quarter.
Petrobras said in a securities filing the rise was driven by the ramp up of pre-salt platforms that entered into operation last year and earlier this year in the Búzios and Lula fields.
