At a time when there is a lot of talk about fuel theft in Petrobras pipelines, Silvino also spoke about investments in this security segment.

The declared investments in the Rio PipeLine will be around R$ 1,2 billion over the next five years and will be based on the implementation of the Integrated Pipeline Protection program, Pró-Dutos, which aims to reduce the occurrence of thefts in gas pipelines by 75%. .

Still during the Rio Pipeline the president of transpetro stated that there has already been a significant reduction of about 30% in cases of theft, but this is not yet definitive.
Silvino also highlighted the increase in cases of complaints through channel 168 and that the population's awareness has increased and helped in this regard.
