The milestone of 2021 is the result of initiatives adopted by the state-owned company to increase the supply of natural gas to the market, such as increasing the capacity of the regasification terminal in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the oil company’s statement, Petrobras imports LNG from countries such as the United States, Trinidad & Tobago, and Qatar, via special ships that transport the gas in liquid form.
The input returns to a gaseous state at the regasification terminals and is then sent to clients who have natural gas commercialization contracts with Petrobras. LNG imports to meet the demands of the national gas market can also be made by other suppliers.
