By MGN Editorial•March 23, 2026 at 11:47 PM
Brazilian oil company PRIO confirms timeline for start-up of production from two additional wells in the Campos basin off the coast of Brazil.
In the latest development from Brazil's offshore energy sector, oil and gas company PRIO (formerly known as PetroRio) has announced that two more wells in the Campos basin off the country's southeastern coast will soon be coming online.
According to the company's statement, the two remaining wells at the field are expected to begin production in the near future. This marks the latest expansion of Brazil's offshore oil and gas operations, which have been a key focus for the nation's energy strategy in recent years.
The Campos basin, located approximately 120 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, has been a major hub for Brazil's offshore exploration and production activities. PRIO, one of the companies operating in the region, has been working to develop new wells and infrastructure to capitalize on the basin's significant hydrocarbon resources.
'The start-up of these two additional wells is an important milestone for our operations in the Campos basin,' said PRIO's CEO in the company's announcement. 'It reflects our ongoing commitment to growing Brazil's domestic energy production and strengthening the country's position as a major player in the global oil and gas industry.'
The news comes as the global energy landscape continues to evolve, with increased focus on sustainability, emissions reduction, and the transition to cleaner energy sources. However, Brazil's vast offshore oil and gas reserves remain a critical component of the nation's energy strategy in the near to medium term, supporting economic growth and energy security.
As reported by [Offshore Energy](https://www.offshore-energy.biz/two-more-wells-in-brazilian-waters-coming-online-soon/), PRIO's latest announcement underscores the dynamic nature of Brazil's offshore energy sector and the country's ongoing efforts to maximize the value of its natural resources.
