The reasons for this growth were both the improvement of Campos Basin operational efficiency and the operational startup of another well in Marlim Field (MRL-126), with a flow of 12 thousand barrels/day. To increase its domestic production, Petrobras needs to produce its fields in deep and ultra- deepwaters. In 2005, the Company plans to reach a 1.9-million bopd production in Brazil and to have nearly 75% of it from deep and ultra-deepwaters.
