The Upstream business unit develops a competitive and unique portfolio in the sector, with a carbon intensity well below the industry average. It comprises projects at different stages of maturity, from exploration to production. In addition to promising assets in Namibia and São Tomé and Príncipe, the portfolio includes one of the largest oil and natural gas discoveries of recent decades: in the pre-salt Santos basin in Brazil.

Upstream portfolio

Galp's Upstream portfolio is characterised by a broad and high-quality base of reserves and resources. In 2023, 1P and 2P reserves decreased 7% to 342 mboe and 621 mboe, respectively. 2C resources remained stable compared to the previous year, at 1,653 mboe.

Several factors make Galp's Upstream portfolio competitive and unique in the sector, namely:

  • First-class projects in premium geographies
  • Medium-term production growth of 30% by 2026
  • High sustainability, given the low production costs ($3/boe) and carbon intensity of 9.1 kgCO2e, well below the industry average of 17.8 kgCO2e (data from the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers, 2022)
  • Break-even below $20/bbl
