An earlier authorization from the MME to Petrobras for Bolivian natural gas imports was valid until the end of 2020.

The delivery location of the energy will be the border with Bolivia, in Mato Grosso do Sul, near the city of Corumbá.

When questioned, Petrobras stated in a note to Reuters that the new authorization granted by the Brazilian government “reflected the volume that was being negotiated with YPFB at the time of the request.”

Until the end of 2019, Petrobras and the Bolivian state gas company YPFB had a contract that provided for a minimum purchase by the Brazilian company of 24 million cubic meters per day, with a maximum of 30.08 million.
