Petrobras injected a record 10.6m MT of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) in 2022.
The amount corresponded to 27% of the total volume of gas injected in its pre-salt fields, and around 25% of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) injected by the industry as a whole last year, according to the Global CCS Institute.
Currently, all 21 platforms operated by Petrobras that are working in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin incorporate CCUS technology for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and performance is continuing to improve.
Injecting the gas into the reservoir increases production efficiency and reduces the overall GHG emissions, based on emissions per barrel produced, which enables Petrobas to operate with low costs and less carbon, ensuring the project is competitive.
