The Construction of the Land and Sea Sections of the Pipelines Connecting the Pre-Salt to Comperj Was Authorized; A New Consortium Was Formed by Two Companies to Attempt to Secure These Works

Another important advance at Comperj is taking place, signaling the market with a bit more optimism. The ANP authorized the construction of the submarine and land sections of the ducts of Route 3 that will connect the pre-salt of the Santos Basin to transport production to the refinery located in Itaboraí – RJ. There will be about 355 km of pipelines (307 km offshore and 48 on land) to transport around 18 million m³ of gas daily.

Despite being quite slow, Comperj has been active, with the construction of the project’s base already underway. It is worth noting that the ducts of Route 3 include the UPGN in the refinery project. According to Hugo Repsold, Production and Technology Director at Petrobras, Comperj’s works will have up to 3,000 collaborators by the end of 2018, and this number has just been boosted with the ANP’s authorization.

Possible Companies That Will Execute the Works

It is important to highlight that the potential companies that will build the sea and land sections of the Route 3 gas pipelines to Comperj are still bidding, but we have a clear idea of who will win the contracts:

For the Land Section ⇒ the companies Encalso and Concremat formed a consortium to take over the land works and have so far presented the best price.

For the Submarine Section ⇒ Sapura or McDermott are in a fierce battle to see who gets the pipeline laying project on the seabed. But regardless of who wins, it will be Locar that will provide services for one of the two.
