Company Acquired Block in the Paraná Basin at ANP Auction, Increasing Investments in Natural Gas in the Region. CEO Highlights Importance of the Concession.

One of the newcomers to the oil and gas auctions, Blueshift acquired a block in the Paraná Basin this Wednesday (12/13) with the aim of exploring the potential for natural gas discovery, as reported by the company’s CEO, Luciano Quadros.

The company purchased the block PAR-T-335 for R$ 210 thousand in the 4th Cycle of the Permanent Offering of Concessions held by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) in Rio de Janeiro (check the transmission and results). Blueshift is entering the market with strength and determination, seeking to take advantage of available opportunities to expand its foothold in the oil and gas sector.

Blueshift and Exploration in the Paraná Basin

Blueshift is the investment arm in gas of Quadros — an engineer with experience at Odebrecht and Camargo Corrêa.

The entrepreneur is also involved in energy generation. He is a partner at Beta Energy Producer, which is constructing a thermal power plant powered by gas in Trombudo Central (SC).

The UTE Trombudo (28 MW) was contracted in the Capacity Reserve Auction in December 2021 and is scheduled to commence operations in 2025.

Quadros states that in the Paraná Basin, the company’s plan is to explore the concession looking for monetization opportunities for potential gas discoveries both in the thermal segment (generation at wellhead) and sales to distributors or industries in the free market.

Today, the company operates in the Brazilian market through gas imports. The UTE Trombudo was designed to import liquefied natural gas (LNG). A distribution hub will be built on-site.

Blueshift is seeking authorization from the ANP to operate as a small-scale LNG distributor.

The company also has an agreement with YPFB for gas imports from Bolivia, in an incorruptible modality; and is trying to bring to fruition a project for the distribution of LNG derived from onshore production in Argentina.

Blueshift’s Action in the Gas Market

Blueshift, led by CEO Quadros, is intensifying its presence in oil and gas auctions, primarily in the Paraná Basin. The company’s focus is on exploring concessions and monetizing natural gas discoveries.

In addition, the company is investing in gas thermal power plant projects, such as UTE Trombudo, which was contracted through the Capacity Reserve Auction and is expected to start operations in 2025.

Regarding gas distribution, Blueshift is seeking ANP authorization to operate as a small-scale LNG distributor, in addition to having agreements for gas imports from Bolivia and Argentina.

With ambitious plans to actively participate in the gas market, Blueshift is standing out as a promising newcomer in the energy sector, bringing innovation and investments in natural gas and its various distribution and monetization modalities.

Blueshift and the Importance of Liquefied Natural Gas

Blueshift, through its CEO Quadros, is focused on expanding its operations in the gas market, particularly regarding liquefied natural gas (LNG). The company is involved in LNG import projects from Bolivia and Argentina, aiming for distribution and monetization of this resource.

Furthermore, Blueshift is seeking ANP authorization to operate as a small-scale LNG distributor in the Brazilian market. The company is also investing in gas thermal power plant projects, such as UTE Trombudo, which was contracted through the Capacity Reserve Auction and is planned to start operations in 2025.

With the growing importance of liquefied natural gas in the energy market, Blueshift is establishing itself as a standout newcomer, bringing innovation and investment opportunities in gas, both in energy generation and in distribution and monetization of this resource.
