According to the oil company, there is no precedent in Brazil for offshore gas processing, and the prospects for new business opportunities for the Brazilian supply chain are promising. Essentially, it desires that its suppliers operate safely, with quality, on time, and in a competitive and sustainable manner.
The BM-C-33 Campos Basin is a high-volume gas asset, and to develop it, a flow solution is needed. With that in mind, Equinor chose to build this gas pipeline, which will take the gas from the FPSO to the coast.
Gas Law
The approval of the Gas Law, according to the text proposed by the Mines and Energy Commission, is a significant milestone in the transition to an open and competitive gas market in Macaé, and it also demonstrates that the liberalization of the gas market is an important element on the Government’s agenda to attract new investments and promote the economic development of the country, such as the gas pipeline in the Campos Basin.
There are no direct impacts from Equinor; however, its approval comes at an excellent time, knowing that Brazil is a central market for the company’s investments, such as in the Campos Basin.
