    Question

    Monique Greco of Itaú BBA requested more detail on the connection between the additional $2 billion in Q4 CapEx and accelerated production in the Buzios field, asking if it was tied to completed projects or the anticipation of future ones like Buzios 8-11.

    Answer

    Executive Director of Engineering, Technology and Innovation, Renata Baruzzi, explained the spending was part of a 'herculean effort' to recover timelines on delayed projects, specifically mentioning P78 and P79 in the Buzios area. An executive added that the strategy involved both mitigating further delays on some projects (P-68, P-69) and actively pulling forward the start of others, such as the Almirante Tamandare and Maria Quiteria FPSOs, which began operations earlier than originally scheduled.
