Brazil base Oil Output Fell in February

Brazil’s production of base oil – mostly API Group I – dropped 15% in February, and imports were down by more than two-thirds, according to data released by a government agency. This resulted in nearly identical production and export volumes for the month, matching a general trend before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Production declined to 44,000 metric tons in February, down from 52,000 tons in February of 2021 and 10% lower than 49,000 tons in the same month in 2020, according to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels. Sequentially, February’s total was down 10% from January’s production.

Year-to-date through February, Brazil’s base oil production totaled 93,000 tons, unchanged from the same period last year.

The South American country imported 44,000 tons of base oil in February, a 68% drop from 138,000 tons imported in the same month last year.

The 90,000 tons of base oil imported through February was down 59% from 220,000 tons in the first two months of last year.
