Petrobras increased domestic fuel sales in 2025 despite lower refining output, relying on higher imports to meet strong demand. Sales of refined products reached 1.747 million barrels per day (bpd), up 1.6%, led by diesel, gasoline and jet fuel, which made up 74% of volumes. Diesel sales rose 5.2%, supported by economic activity and larger grain harvests, while gasoline sales grew 2%. Refining production fell 2.9% and refinery utilization slipped to 91%, prompting sharp increases in imports, including a 91.7% surge in diesel purchases. Overall company sales of oil, gas and derivatives rose 7.2%, supported by higher production and record oil exports, which averaged 765,000 bpd in 2025.
