The leasing process for the LNG Regasification Terminal in Bahia and its integrated pipeline began last year. However, the FSRU is not part of the terminal leasing process.

The initiative is in line with the Commitment Agreement for the natural gas market signed with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in July 2019, which provides for the exit of Petrobras from several links in the gas market, such as transportation and distribution.

About Petrobras LNG Regasification Terminal in Bahia (TR-BA)

The Bahia LNG Regasification Terminal (TR-BA) consists of an island-type pier with all the necessary facilities for berthing and mooring an FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit) directly to the pier and a supply ship alongside the FSRU.

The transfer of LNG is done directly between the FSRU and the supplier in a side-by-side configuration. The maximum regasification flow of TR-BA is 20 million m³/d.

The pipeline integrated into the terminal is 45 km long and 28 inches in diameter, connecting TR-BA to two delivery points, the São Francisco do Conde Pressure Reduction Station and the São Sebastião do Passé Flow Control Station.
