In São Paulo, Executives from Equinor and Karoon Met with Government Authorities. Cosan Also Expressed Interest in Building a Gas Pipeline Called Rota 4 to Supply Baixada Santista and Greater São Paulo.
Cosan Reported That It Is Seeking Ways to Enable the Gas Produced in the Pre-salt through “Flow and Treatment Infrastructure” in Baixada Santista. The Company Has Not Set Timelines.
According to a Statement from the State Secretary of Infrastructure and the Environment, “The Private Initiative Is Discussing with the Exploration and Production Concessionaires the Construction of a New Gas Flow Route in the Santos Basin (Rota 4), Along with Investments in an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Terminal.”

Therefore, the Expansion of Foreign Oil Companies Is Positive. “The State Does Not Have Resources, and Petrobras Does Not Have That Volume of Capital,” Said the Chief Economist of Reag Investimentos, Simone Pasianotto.
Pasianotto Highlights That the Flow of Capital from Foreign Oil Companies Is Still Modest. In the 16th Round Held by the National Agency of Petroleum, Out of 36 Blocks Offered, Only 12 Were Auctioned, with Petrobras Acquiring Only One.
