Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) announced Wednesday that its proven reserves in Brazil’s pre-salt area in 2013 grew by 43 percent when compared to 2012. Since 2007, the company has been incorporating growing volumes to its proven reserves from the pre-salt layer, which stretches from southern Espirito Santo state to Santa Catarina state. Currently, more than one-quarter of Petrobras’ proven reserves comes from the pre-salt. This 43 percent reserves growth in 2013 was possible due to the drilling of 42 wells in the pre-salt, combined with the excellent performance of the platforms in production at Campos and Santos Basins.
