According to the oil company, the mark surpassed the 103 procedures recorded in 2014, previously the year with the highest demand.
Increase in the Number of Operations Reflects the Growth of LNG Imports by Petrobras This Year
By the end of 2021, the expectation is to reach 120 transfers. The increase in the number of operations reflects the growth of LNG imports by Petrobras this year. Since 2009, when the first LNG terminal in Brazil was inaugurated, a total of 716 operations have been carried out.

“The record is the result of a set of initiatives taken by Petrobras to increase the supply of natural gas, ensuring compliance with its commitments in the current national water crisis scenario,” the state company said in the statement.
And it was only possible due to the efforts of the terminal management team to maintain the integrity and availability of the company’s assets, as well as the programming and commercial teams for acquiring LNG cargoes in the market, ensuring stock availability.
Siemens Secures Major Order for the Construction of the GNA II Thermoelectric Plant at Porto do Açu; Latin America’s Largest LNG Complex Involves Investments of R$ 6 Billion and Will Provide Energy for 14 Million Households
Siemens Energy has just secured a contract for the construction of the GNA II Thermoelectric Plant, located in Porto do Açu, in the state of Rio de Janeiro – Latin America’s largest LNG complex. UTE GNA II will be the second combined cycle plant that Siemens Energy will build on a turnkey basis in the thermoelectric complex and will have an installed capacity of 1.7 gigawatts (GW).
According to Siemens, the construction of the plant, which is already underway, follows the successful commissioning of GNA I in the second half of 2021.
With a combined capacity of 3 GW, GNA I and GNA II will be able to supply electricity equivalent to that consumed by 14 million households. This second order will feature the first application in Brazil of the gas turbine – HL class.
The plant is being built in partnership with the consortium Andrade Gutierrez, which will provide civil works, infrastructure, and assembly.
The thermoelectric complex is part of the Açu Gas Hub, a project under development in the Açu Port Complex, aimed at providing a logistical solution for receiving, processing, converting natural gas into electricity, and transporting gas in the Campos and Santos basins, as well as importing and storing LNG. A second phase will include additional thermal energy projects under the 6.4 GW environmental license owned by GNA.
The construction of the GNA I plant began in January 2018 and commenced commercial operations in September 2021. The two plants will supply energy to regions such as Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro within the National Interconnected System.
