The New Partnership Between the National Agency of Petroleum and Ipem-SP Strengthens the Control of Quality and Safety in the Fuel Market in São Paulo, Expanding Joint Actions of ANP Supply Supervision and Georeferencing
The ANP supply supervision is reinforced with the new agreement signed between the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) and the Weights and Measures Institute of the State of São Paulo (Ipem-SP), according to a report published.
Published in the Official Gazette of the Union on the last day of October 20, the technical and operational cooperation agreement establishes joint actions to intensify the fight against irregular practices in the fuel sector, covering transport, resale, and commercialization of petroleum derivatives and biofuels.
The aim is to unite efforts to ensure more transparency and safety in operations that move billions of liters of fuel per year in the State of São Paulo, the largest consumer hub in the country.

This cooperation, which will be valid for 60 months, represents an important step in modernizing supervision and increasing ANP’s control measures efficiency.
ANP Supply Supervision: Reinforcement of Supply Security and Quality
Among the goals of the partnership is strengthening field actions to curb fraud and irregularities.
Ipem-SP, linked to the Secretary of Justice and Citizenship of the State, will be able to carry out inspections on behalf of the ANP, using staff trained by the agency itself and following officially issued service orders.
This integration increases supervisory presence in all regions of the state, which should help to boost consumer and market agent confidence.
With the new cooperation model, it is expected to significantly reduce occurrences of fuel adulteration and irregularities in volume measurement, one of the main problems faced in the sector. Therefore, ANP supply supervision is fundamental.
Additionally, the agreement does not foresee financial transfers between the agencies, which reinforces its technical and operational nature, focusing solely on regulatory efficiency.
Georeferencing and Innovation in the Company Registration
The agreement introduces an important technological component: the georeferencing of economic agents, which will allow the accurate registration of fuel stations, distributors, and transporters.
This update of the ANP registration will increase the reliability of the information and facilitate the planning of ANP supply supervision operations, especially in areas of high consumption concentration.
This data integration will be essential to identify market operation patterns, direct audits, and improve the traceability of activities, making the control process smarter and preventive.
ANP supply supervision also strengthens monitoring of biofuels, a rapidly expanding segment that is strategic for the Brazilian energy transition.
Education and Guidance in Compliance with ANP Regulations
In addition to repressive actions, the cooperation between ANP and Ipem-SP includes initiatives aimed at education and awareness of compliance with the current legislation.
The proposal is to create technical guidance programs that assist resellers and distributors in complying with the regulatory agency’s standards, reducing the number of infractions and improving consumer service quality.
With the expansion of ANP supply supervision, the expectation is that the fuel sector in São Paulo will gain more transparency, efficiency, and credibility.
This technical partnership reinforces the government’s commitment to ensuring safety and quality in the supply of petroleum derivatives and biofuels, consolidating a model that can be expanded to other states.
