The oil company aims to acquire a 51% stake in Petrobras in Gaspetro. In addition to Petrobras, Gaspetro has the Japanese Mitsui as a shareholder, with a 49% stake.

Petrobras began the process of selling its stake in Gaspetro at the end of February, having started the binding phase in July after a delay in mid-March, when the oil company reopened the qualification phase for interested parties.

The completion of the potential transaction is subject to various factors, including the selection of Compass as the winner of the competitive process, the conclusion of the resulting negotiations, and the signing of the respective purchase and sale agreement for Gaspetro.

The Gaspetro holding company, which has stakes in 19 gas distributors, was responsible for the distribution of 29 million cubic meters of the product daily in various States in 2019, according to Petrobras data.

Pre-Salt Pipelines Will Be Connected to Baixada Santista by Compass Gás e Energia

Company of the Cosan Group, Compass Gás e Energia, will invest with strategic partners, US$ 2 billion (R$ 11.15 billion), in pipelines in the Santos Basin through Rota 4 Participações.

The Rota 4 project is in the licensing phase, and the expectation is that the pipeline will start operating between 2027 and 2028. It takes approximately four years to construct the structures.

With a capacity to transport 21 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, Rota 4 will increase the transportation and production capacity of gas in the pre-salt fields.
