據今日油價網站4月27日消息 路透社援引巴西國家石油管理局的報告稱，2021年第一季度，巴西原油日均產量為280萬桶，比2020年第一季度下降了6%。

　　2021年第一季度，巴西國家石油公司的產量同比下降5%，至210萬桶/日，約占巴西石油總產量的75%。

　　去年，巴西成為新冠疫情及其對石油市場造成的危機中為數不多的贏家之一。

　　因此，巴西國家石油公司去年10月表示，計劃今年增產，到12月達到312萬桶/日。然而，鑒于全球市場的供應趨勢，它可能不得不調整這些計劃。

　　即使遭遇了這些挫折，巴西仍然是全球石油市場最熱門的地區之一。在鹽下區域，有數十億桶石油尚未開采，巴西吸引了眾多石油巨頭的關注。該國與小國圭亞那一起被視為未來海上石油生產的主要驅動力之一。預計今年和明年這兩個地區的鉆井活動都將增加10%左右。

　　Brazil Reports 6% Oil Output Decline In Q1

　　Crude oil production in Brazil averaged 2.8 million barrels daily in the first quarter of 2021, the country’s National Petroleum Agency reported, as quoted by Reuters. This was down 6 percent on the first quarter of 2020, the report said.

　　The output of state-owned Petrobras fell by 5 percent on the year in the first quarter of 2021, to 2.1 million bpd. The state major produces some 75 percent of Brazil’s total oil output.

　　Last year, Brazil became one of the very few winners from the pandemic and the crisis it caused on oil markets.

　　As a result, Petrobras said it planned to boost production this year, to some 3.12 million bpd by December, the company said last October. It might have to revise these plans, however, in light of supply trends on the global markets.

　　Even with such setbacks, Brazil remains one of the hottest spots in global oil. With billions of barrels yet untapped in its notorious presalt zone offshore, Brazil has attracted a lot of attention from Big Oil. The country is seen as one of the main drivers of future offshore oil production along with tiny Guyana. Drilling activity in both is expected to rise by about 10 percent both this year and next.
