SAO PAULO, Oct 1 (Reuters) – Brazil's oil and gas production hit 5.08 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) in August, remaining above the key level of 5 million boed reached for the first time the previous month, oil regulator ANP said in a statement on Wednesday. Oil output reached 3.896 million barrels per day in the month, up 16.6% year-on-year, while natural gas production rose 18.2% to 188.9 million cubic meters per day, ANP added. The Buzios field was the largest oil producer in August, surpassing Tupi for the first time, the regulator said. (Reporting by Marta Nogueira and Isabel Teles; Editing by Kylie Madry)
