Petrobras (PBR) Oil Output at 96% of Capacity; Strike Has Caused Production to Fall by 63K bpd
Dow Jones reports that Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) released a statement late last night saying that following a mid-day walk-off by workers at 12 Petrobras rigs, oil output has now reached about 96% of capacity. Production has returned to more normal levels due to contingency teams that have taken the places of striking workers.
Further, Petrobras said that as of 2100 GMT, oil production had fallen about 63,000 barrels a day. The strike, which is affecting Petrobras' platforms in the Campos Basin, is expected to continue through this week, although Petrobras has said that operations are "nearly normalized" at these platforms.
Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., Petrobras, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the exploration, exploitation, and production of oil from reservoir wells, shale, and other rocks.
