Urca Oil and Gas Production Field Development - Brazil

This photo taken on Oct. 16, 2025 shows liquefied petroleum gas storage tanks standing in the production area of the Urucu Oil and Gas Production Field in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The Urucu Oil and Gas Production Field, located in the heart of Brazil's Amazonas state, is one of the country's most important onshore oil and gas production bases.
