Petrobras' production of gasoline and S-10 diesel surpassed historical records from previous years in 2024. The total volume of gasoline produced reached 24.4 billion liters, surpassing the previous record from 2014 (24.2 billion liters). In terms of S-10 diesel production, last year, the brand broke the previous record from 2023, reaching 26.3 billion liters.

In gasoline production, the President Getúlio Vargas Refinery (REPAR), in Paraná, stood out, reaching the annual mark of 3.5 billion liters. In the production of S-10 diesel, the President Bernardes Refinery (RPBC), in the state of São Paulo, reached 3.8 billion liters.

The volume of oil processed from the Pre-Salt was also historic, reaching 70% of the total processed by Petrobras, surpassing the figure recorded in 2023, when the annual average had reached 66%.

The annual Refinery Utilization Factor (FUT) reached 93.2%, compared to 92% achieved in 2023. The FUT calculation takes into account the volume of processed oil load and the reference capacity of the refineries, within the design limits of the assets, safety, environmental and quality requirements of the derivatives produced.

The reliability and availability of the refining plants were fundamental to the performance achieved, with the indication of greater use of the refineries by the integrated planning of the Refining, Transportation, Marketing, Petrochemicals and Fertilizers (RTC) segment of Petrobras.
