RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras PETR3.SA is looking to increase production at three floating offshore production platforms (FPSO) it operates in the country, the head of Exploration and Production, Sylvia dos Anjos, said on Monday.

Production at the firm's Almirante Tamandare FPSO in Buzios field could increase from the current 225,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd), reached last week, to 250,000 bpd, Anjos said.

To increase production at the three platforms the firm would need to negotiate with the chartering firms involved  - Netherland's SBM Offshore SBMO.AS  and Japan's Modec 6269.T, she added.
