From the first oil extracted from the pre-salt in September 2008, in the Jubarte field, in the Capixaba portion of the Campos Basin, to the volume of 1,500,000 bpd achieved this year, we made a leap in our results in that layer. Just six years after the first oil, we reached the 500,000-barrel-per-day mark and, after eight years, the first million.
