Of gasoline alone, 2.01 billion liters were produced, the best result since 2014. The production of diesel S10 reached 2.11 billion liters, surpassing the previous record set in May of this year. Sales, according to Petrobras, accompanied the increase in production. In June, sales registered an increase, compared to the same period last year, of 26% in gasoline, 2.9% in S10 diesel and 5.7% in aviation kerosene. The Total Utilization Factor (FUT) of Petrobras’ refineries in the second quarter reached 93%, according to the company, the best result since 2015.
