Oil records: that's what Parente is handing over on a silver platter.
"After selling the Carcará field, they are preparing to sell Jupiter, next to the largest pre-salt field, Lula, which accounts for 662 barrels per day, more than 20% of the entire national production. This is the magnitude of the crime they are committing against Brazil," says journalist Fernando Brito, who also points to recent records in oil production; "It was the highest production in history: 3,21 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (oil + gas), a 3% increase over May's production and 7,1% over June of last year. Almost all of it came from pre-salt production, which reached 1,24 million barrels per day."

The National Petroleum Agency released the Oil and gas production report in Brazil.
It was the largest production in history: 3,21 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (oil + gas), a 3% increase over May's production and a 7,1% increase over June of last year.
Almost all of it comes from pre-salt production, which reached 1,24 million barrels per day.
An 8,2% increase compared to May and a record: 1 million barrels of oil and the equivalent of 240 barrels of gas per day.
38% of everything Brazil produces, in an area that hasn't even been exploited for 9 years yet, which is nothing.
To compare: it took Brazil 58 years (from 1939, with the Lobato well in Bahia, until 1.997) to produce one million barrels of oil per day. And when it got there, only 16 countries in the world were in the "Million Barrel Club".
This is what we are delivering, and this is even more that we will deliver.
After the sale of the Carcará field, they are preparing to acquire Jupiter, next to the largest pre-salt field, Lula, which accounts for 662 barrels per day, more than 20% of the entire national production.
This is the magnitude of the crime they are committing against Brazil.
