Brava Energia opened its Integrated Operations Center (COI) in Bahia on October 8, 2026. The facility is located at Base de Candeias, in the Salvador metropolitan area. It centralizes monitoring and production management for the onshore Recôncavo and Rio Ventura hubs.

The center integrates more than 12 systems to oversee over 130 wells and 12 monitoring stations across more than 65 square kilometers. The hub also deploys four unmanned aerial vehicles to support continuous inspections and perimeter security. The model replicates Brava's Potiguar hub operations center in Rio Grande do Norte, which opened in July.

Separately, Brava reported an average production of 82.96 barrels of oil equivalent per day for September, up 1.66% from August. For the third quarter of 2026, output reached 82.39 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of 0.86% from the prior quarter.

In September, oil output stood at 64.61 barrels per day, led by the offshore Atlanta asset in the Santos Basin with 23.79 thousand barrels per day. Natural gas contributed 18.80 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, with the Recôncavo hub generating 6 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day, of which around 28% was reinjected.
