Currently, all the natural gas volume produced by the company in the Espírito Santo Basin is destined for Petrobras. Now, 3R Petroleum wants to expand production at the Peroá Pole to the domestic market.

3R Petroleum is increasingly invested in expanding its customer base in the national fuel market. The company is preparing to start selling the natural gas produced at the Peroá Pole, in the Espírito Santo Basin, beyond Petrobras, in the coming months. It is in the final stages of negotiation with the state-owned company to use its infrastructure and process the surplus gas not intended for the company, enabling the commercialization of the product.

3R Petroleum Negotiates with Petrobras and Aims to Commercialize Surplus Natural Gas from the Peroá Pole to the National Fuel Market

3R Petroleum, a Brazilian oil and natural gas exploration and production company, is seeking to diversify its customer base and expand its business.

Currently, all of the company’s natural gas production at the Peroá Pole, located in the Espírito Santo Basin, is sold to Petrobras.

However, 3R is in the final stages of negotiation with the state-owned company to utilize its infrastructure and process the surplus gas, allowing the company to commercialize directly with other customers.

This would be a decisive move to expand the company’s presence throughout the national fuel market.

The director of exploration and production at 3R, Maurício Diniz, stated that he expects to conclude negotiations with Petrobras in the second quarter of the year.

The current contract stipulates a minimum daily withdrawal of 500,000 m³/day, but production at the Peroá Pole can reach 650,000 m³/day, depending on demand.

In addition to Petrobras, 3R Petroleum currently has only one customer, Bahiagás, with which it has a commitment to deliver natural gas in 2023 and 2024. The company is looking to expand its customer base and explore new markets.

In the future, 3R also plans to connect the Malombe discovery to the Peroá Pole, which could further increase its natural gas production, reaching up to 2.5 million m³/day.

Diversifying the customer base and expanding operations are important strategies for 3R Petroleum, allowing the company to grow and establish itself in the oil and natural gas market in Brazil.

The Search for New Customers in the Natural Gas Market Reflects the Growth of Demand in the Sector Across Brazil

3R Petroleum’s search for new customers and markets with the natural gas from the Peroá Pole is part of a larger strategy for growth and diversification of the company.

With dozens of production fields in operation, the company has a diversified portfolio of oil and natural gas assets in various regions of Brazil.

With the expansion of its customer base and the diversification of its business, 3R Petroleum is preparing to face the challenges of the oil and natural gas market in Brazil, which is undergoing significant changes.

The opening of the natural gas market and the entry of new players into the sector are some of the trends shaping the future of the industry in the country.

In this context, 3R Petroleum has the opportunity to establish itself as one of the leading companies in the sector, with a strategy focused on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

Diversifying its customer base and expanding its business through the commercialization of natural gas from the Peroá Pole in the Espírito Santo Basin are important steps in this direction.
