Petrobras reported an alarming figure regarding its pipelines. In 5 years, the state-owned company saw cases of fuel theft in its pipelines rise from 1 case to 261.
This record from 2018 is significant, considering that in 2016, Petrobras registered 72 cases. At the Opening of Rio Pipeline 2019, Transpetro Says It Will Invest R$ 1.2 Billion in Pipeline Protection.

At the beginning of this year, a case caught society’s attention, as in an attempted gasoline theft, a 9-year-old child died from burns in RJ.
Most cases occur in RJ and SP, with thieves stealing Petrobras fuel to sell in a thriving black market.

Transpetro is investing R$ 100 million per year in a program to gather information about criminal groups, with data on the methods used by oil thieves and even tracking these individuals.
The company also reported that it has a team of 50 people studying the issue and has opened a hotline for people to report this type of crime.

Foreign investors, such as the French Engie SA, which bought TAG from Petrobras for US$ 8.6 billion in April, are also making investments to strengthen the fight against theft in its pipelines.
Engie stated in a communication that it is working together with Transpetro, as some of the company’s pipelines run alongside theirs to increase foot patrols and strengthen physical barriers, among other measures.
