This figure allowed fora\u00a0 higher production, with diesel, gasoline and QAV yields in the second quarter at 67%, in line with the first quarter of the year, benefiting from favorable market conditions,\u201d Petrobras said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Petrobras, the volume of sales of oil products in the second quarter was up 1% quarter-on-quarter, and the fuel output was up 2.6% year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Petrobras has been running its refineries at near capacity to reduce imports of gasoline and diesel fuel that are sold at a loss due to the government&#8217;s fuel-price controls. Diesel is Brazil&#8217;s most-used vehicle fuel, but the S-10 diesel needed to make engines built to new emission standards function properly only accounts for about a quarter of Brazilian diesel demand. The rest of Petrobras output is S-500, fuel with 50 times more sulfur than S-10.<\/p>\n<p>The pre-salt fields accounted for 73% of Petrobras\u2019 output in the second quarter of 2022 at 1.94 million barrels of oil equivalent (boed) from April through June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-315689\">Fernando Fraz\u00e3o\/Ag\u00eancia Brasil<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brazilian company announced its refineries were running nearly full tilt at the end of June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":315689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[20570,30119,33523,3289,13548,10156,30120,33789,33790,30113,30114,12723],"class_list":{"0":"post-315691","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-brazil-oil","9":"tag-brazil-refineries","10":"tag-brazil-refining","11":"tag-oil-and-gas","12":"tag-petrobras-ar","13":"tag-petrobras-en","14":"tag-petrobras-refineries","15":"tag-petroleo-brasil-en","16":"tag-petroleo-e-gas-en-2","17":"tag-refinarias-brasil-en","18":"tag-refinarias-petrobras-en","19":"tag-refineries"},"wps_subtitle":"The Brazilian company announced its refineries were running nearly full tilt at the end of June.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
