To Further Reduce Its Dependence on Natural Gas Supplies from Petrobras, the Ceará Company Cegás is Now Advancing Negotiations with Suppliers Shell, PetroReconcavo, and Galp in Search of Fuel Purchase Contracts

The companies Shell, PetroReconcavo, and Galp were the big winners of Cegás’s public call for future fuel contracts, the Ceará company reported on Friday, (05/27). Thus, Cegás is moving forward to establish contracts for the supply of natural gas in the state of Ceará and is approaching new suppliers to further reduce its reliance on purchasing fuel from the state-controlled Petrobras.

Shell, PetroReconcavo, and Galp Win Cegás’s Public Call for Future Contracts to Supply Natural Gas for the Supply of the Ceará State

The company Cegás opened a public call to acquire 600,000 m³/day of gas for up to four years, with June 1st being the start date for supply, and announced the winners last Friday. Thus, the companies Shell, PetroReconcavo, and Galp were the natural gas suppliers that went through the process. Only the negotiation with the company Excelarate was excluded after the Ceará distributor announced the names of the winners.

And, after the commencement of natural gas purchases at the beginning of June, the fuel will be delivered to the Custody Transfer Stations, located in the municipalities of Fortaleza, Aquiraz, Pecém, Caucaia, Aracati, and Horizonte. The companies Galp, Shell, and PetroReconcavo began their operations as natural gas suppliers in the northeastern region of Brazil at the beginning of 2022. Thus, Cegás seeks to attract the attention of these companies to favorable new ventures for the supply of fuel in the state of Ceará over the coming years.

The current situation of Cegás regarding the supply of natural gas in the state of Ceará is highly unstable, due to the overturning by the Superior Court of Justice, during March 2022, of the injunction that prevented Petrobras from raising fuel prices for the distributor. With the new scenario regarding the partnership with the state-owned company, the natural gas distributor of Ceará needed to seek new business and contracts more favorable for the purchase of the resource, primarily to avoid significantly affecting the final consumer’s budget.

The Ceará company was in negotiations with the state-owned company and aimed for an extended term from four to nine years, in exchange for a reduction in the indexing of Brent prices from 16.75% to less than 13%. However, with the significant cut in supply from Petrobras by the Bolivian YPFB in recent days, negotiations with Cegás were suspended indefinitely.

And, while the state-owned company does not resume negotiations with any national company, Brazilian distributors begin to look for new natural gas suppliers, just as Cegás has been doing with Shell, PetroReconcavo, and Galp, seeking greater independence in the supply of the resource.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

Why fighter pilots never return after ejecting: the seat launches the body at 600 km/h in 1 second, compresses the spine, reduces G tolerance, and leads to medical disqualification, not punishment.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Cabbage, kale, and broccoli are used to mine thallium metal in toxic soils and provide raw materials for the high-tech industry.

New air-powered artificial muscles allow machines to lift up to 100 times their own weight with fluid movements.

New system that detects danger, decides the ideal route, and overcomes obstacles in heavy cargo transportation

Researchers develop a new advanced encryption system to protect video files against the future threat of quantum computing attacks.

While other powers face challenges in making rockets more accessible, China is betting on the Lijian-2 with reusable technology, standardized engines, and large-scale production to accelerate space missions.

China has just discovered oil in rock layers that no one thought could be explored at the bottom of the South China Sea, and the field with over 100 million tons could change the balance of energy power in Asia.

Petrobras finds oil on the seabed in the Campos Basin, hundreds of kilometers off the coast of Rio, and the discovery in a deep area raises curiosity about what else may be hidden in the pre-salt and how much this new area could surprise Brazil in the coming years.

Petrobras announces a new discovery in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin in block C-M-477, 201 km off the coast of Rio and at a depth of 2,984 m, following indications from electrical profiles, gas, and samples collected during drilling.

Even before the first drilling on the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, a wave of migrants is pressuring Oiapoque, expanding precarious occupations and transforming the city of Amapá into the new epicenter of the oil rush in the Amazon.

Oil rises more than 7% and surpasses $102 this Monday (13) after the announcement of the U.S. blockade on Iran, putting pressure on fuels, raising global inflation, and impacting economic costs.
