After the reduction of Petrobras’ presence in the distribution of natural gas in Rio Grande do Norte in 2021, Potigás entered into other contracts in the sector.

Among them, it signed a contract with PetroReconcavo for a supply of 236 thousand m³/day until the end of 2023.

In addition, it also has an ongoing agreement with Galp for a volume of 1 thousand m³/day until the end of the year.

In addition to this agreement, it has projects planned with Gasmig (MG), Compagas (PR), and Sulgás (RS), as well as Cegás (CE), ES Gás (ES), SCGás (SC).

Therefore, Petrobras resumes its position in RN with distributor Potigás and maintains its presence in the national natural gas scenario with the other contracts.
