Yesterday, more workers went on collective vacations. “And shortly after, around 3:30 PM, they sent a notice to some employees; I don’t know the total number of collaborators but it was a large number from various functions including scaffolding assembly, welders, sanders among others,” informed a KM collaborator to Click Oil and Gas yesterday.
The new stoppage by the category demands the company’s neglect. “Employees are outraged by the way they have been treated. I’ve never seen a collaborator go on vacation and have to check out materials,” he concludes.

Thermal Power Plant in Rio Grande do Sul Is Key to Attracting GWM
Last week, there was already a one-day stoppage at Comperj regarding complaints about KERUI METHOD. To put 1,300 employees on vacation at once seems that the one-day strike was not enough for the company to refrain from repeating such behavior.
Check the video below with the workers’ dissatisfaction.
It is worth remembering that after many ups and downs in May of this year, KERUI METHOD reached an agreement with Petrobras and announced new hiring to resume works at the UPGN of Comperj.
The unit is part of the Route 3 project to transport natural gas production from the pre-salt Santos Basin. The start of the works took place in the first half of 2018, and the estimate at that time was for completion in the second half of this year, which likely will not happen.

In June 2020, Kerui Method Delayed Payment and Comperj Equipment Stayed Idle at the Port of Rio
It is not new that employees of the company face similar problems, and it is not only the employees that the company leaves dissatisfied. In June 2020, Kerui Method delayed payment and Comperj equipment remained idle at the Port of Rio
These were modular structures from the natural gas processing unit (UPGN) at Comperj, and they were held for over 50 days at the Port of Rio de Janeiro due to non-payment.
According to information given at the time to Petrobrás Today, the Kerui Method Consortium (KM) did not pay the logistics company responsible for transporting the equipment by barges.
Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) in GasLub Pole in Itaboraí Will Drain Natural Gas from the Pre-salt
The Integrated Project Route 3 will provide another route for draining natural gas from the pre-salt. This project includes the construction of a Natural Gas Processing Unit (UPGN) at the GasLub Pole in Itaboraí, with the capacity to process up to 21 million m³ per day; and the construction of a 355 km gas pipeline interconnecting pre-salt production units to the UPGN, with 307 km of maritime stretch (already built) and 48 km of land stretch. Currently, Petrobras already has Routes 1 and 2 (respectively, Caraguatatuba – SP, and Cabiúnas – Macaé – RJ) to drain the gas produced in the offshore fields.
The GasLub Pole will be another important asset of Petrobras in Rio de Janeiro. Petrobras is present in various fronts in the state. From the exploration of oil fields off the coast of Fluminense in the Santos and Campos Basins, through the Duque de Caxias Refinery (Reduc), the Regasification Terminal of Guanabara Bay (LNG), and the thermoelectric plants Termorio, Termomacaé, Baixada Fluminense, and Seropédica, in addition to the terminals operated by the subsidiary Transpetro (Campos Elíseos, Aquaviário Angra, Ilha D’Água, Triunfo, and Imbetiba).
In the coming years, the company plans significant investments in activities in Rio de Janeiro. Only in the Campos Basin, in the Northern Fluminense portion, a total of US$13 billion is expected to be invested. Petrobras is sensitive to society’s demands and contributes to national development.
