During OTC 2019, in Houston, the Secretary of Petroleum and Gas of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Márcio Félix, stated that Petrobras Is Studying To Build More Gas Pipeline Networks, Which Will Be Called Rota 4, 5, And 6.
The routes would serve to help in the flow of natural gas produced in the Pre-salt of the Santos Basin; today Petrobras has Rota 1, 2, and 3.

The new pipelines have the capacity to flow up to 45 million m³ per day of natural gas and according to the initial study, they would have a length of 515 km.
