Group 1: Company Operations - Petrobras operates the largest onshore oil field in Brazil, the Urucu oil and gas production base, which has been in stable operation since 1988, producing significant amounts of oil and gas to support the energy needs of northern Brazil [1][2]. - The Urucu base is located in the Solimões Basin, which is Brazil's second-largest natural gas field, with proven reserves of 40 billion cubic meters [1]. - The base produces over 13 million cubic meters of natural gas daily, meeting 80% of the gas demand for the northern region, with over 5.1 million cubic meters supplied to Manaus alone [3]. Group 2: Environmental Initiatives - Petrobras has prioritized ecological protection since the discovery of large gas fields in the 1970s, avoiding road construction that would damage the rainforest and instead using air and water transport for personnel and materials [2]. - The company has implemented a carbon reduction strategy, achieving a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015, with a target of carbon neutrality by 2050 [3][4]. - The Urucu base has initiated an ecological restoration project, planting 1.5 million trees to compensate for deforestation caused by industrial activities [4].
