PB-Log, Petrobras Subsidiary, Will Provide Integrated Logistics for Libra

Petrobras Exploration And Production Logistics (PB-Log) Won The Bidding For Logistics Services In The Libra Area, In The Pre-Salt Of The Santos Basin.

On June 15, the subsidiary of the oil company presented the lowest price in the fully integrated contracting model of the competition, offering R$ 802 million for the provision of land, port, maritime, and air services. Petrobras reported that the competitive process involved several national and international companies. PB-LOG Was The Winner With The Best Proposal For The Libra Consortium.

Petrobras Exploration And Production Logistics is a privately held company headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. Until last year, the company had 153 vessels, 56 aircraft, six airports, and three ports.

The Sepetiba consortium, formed by the Sepetiba Tecon port and helicopter operator CHC, was the only competitor to PB-Log in this model, proposing around R$ 1 billion.

PB-Log Also Ranked The Highest In The 1B Model, Which Provides For Air Support Services As Per Passenger Demand Informed By Petrobras. Its bid was approximately 170 million, surpassing the proposals from CHC (R$ 230.6 million) and Omni (R$ 230.9 thousand).

According To The Rules Set Forth By The Notice, No Competing Company Would Have Access To The Prices And Documentation Submitted, But This Ultimately Happened Due To A Registration Process Error.

At The Time, The Issue Led To Speculations That The Bidding Would Be Cancelled. However, Petrobras Reported That The Process Would Follow Its Normal Procedures, As The Documentation Became Available Only After The Deadline For Submitting Proposals Had Passed, “Not Influencing The Preparation And Submission Of Proposals Nor Providing An Advantage To The Proposing Companies.”
