Petrobas said output in Brazil and abroad rose 8.8% last month from a year ago to 2.78million barrels of oil and equivalent natural gas.
Brazil’s state-run oil company said increases in production on two if its recently installed FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) in the sub-salt region at Santos basin were the main factors behind the overall output boost.
After missing production targets in previous years, the company has struggles to increase its output.
Petrobras said sub-salt production reached a record on April 11th at 590,000 barrels per day (bpd).
In March, Petrobas profit in the three months ended March 30, fell 1.2% to $1.8billion.
